Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., a global specialist in digital media and digital convergence technologies, announced that it has formed an exclusive agreement with Al Jazeera, the 24 hours news and current affairs channel.

Partners from across Dubai's media world have renewed their support for the eighth Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF), organised under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President & Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai.

To celebrate its 10th anniversary, the Arabian Radio Network (ARN) has added a new Farsi radio station to its seven stations, 'Radio Shoma' in the UAE. Broadcasting on 93.4 FM, Radio Shoma ('Your Radio') will also be available online via the internet. Transmitting for 24 hours each day, the new station will provide a wide range of entertainment and music shows.


Gulf News reports that the Arabian Radio Network (ARN) has announced that Al Arabiya 99 entertainment radio station has been rebranded with the new tagline ‘Music First’. The network is hoping that the rebranding will draw more ears to the station and increase their share of advertising. Only two to three per cent of advertising spent in the UAE goes into radio, although it’s too cheap, it is a cost effective medium that can show return on investment said Steve Smith, Chief Operating Officer at ARN, adding that the research was conducted to make sure that they “stay ahead, fresh and relevant.”
