Qatar to Have New FM Stations Soon
DOHA (The Peninsula) • The routine offerings of Qatar's FM channels may soon be facing competition as new players enter the FM broadcasting market.
Mohamed Al Emadi, Qatar Radio and Television Corporation Technical Bureau Director, told reporters on the sidelines of the '3rd GCC Coordination meeting on FM Channels', yesterday, Qatar has submitted requests to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to set up 54 new FM channels to go with the existing 15 registered with the world body.
He said: “Because of the limited FM spectrum, the ITU is expected to grant around 10 to 20 of Qatar's requests for additional channels for commercial use.”

grandk u r rite about maria ...grandk u r rite about maria lol.. she is weird and so is the old brit early morning makin me feel sik wid his crap. and hello, a french transmission? ok i agree many people do understand french but HELLO again.
SouthLand said
Wake Up ...Hopefully the expanded service will include quality in broadcasting and test the revenue market locally for more live music venues/acts beyond Celine Dion and Placido Domingo. It seems that with all the acts that the UAE brings in many acts could do multiple shows to lower the costs of getting all the way out here. Let's face it, if the Qatari's want to take the country to the next level and sell out the Pearl they'll need to cater to a larger palette.
Music brought down the Berlin Wall, see excerpt:
When the rhythms of Western rock groups like Genesis and David Bowie floated across the
Wall, they sparked rock riots on the Eastern side. Angry fans scuffled with the people’s police
[Volkspolizei] and called for Gorbachev-like reforms and an opening of the border.
