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.


ARN’s investment in research, programming and on air talent has paid off with audience increases across its key core audience groups.

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.”

Two new TV channels are to start broadcasting within the next four months, the Arab Radio Network (ARN) division of Arab Media Group has announced.
The programming will be modelled on ARN's most popular radio channels.
