DUBAI, 360 Radio, a station for expatriates and families in the Gulf region with education as a thrust area, was launched today by Abu Rashid, a renowned Arab Media Personality in the UAE.
“Radio 360 has started with a good idea as it targets students, families and education alike. As envisioned by the Father of the Nation, Sheikh Zayed, the UAE is a country that pursues an inclusive culture,” Abu Rashid explained.
“I hope that 360 Radio will be a project in support of the educational programme and a platform to spread the message of students and teachers, and cordially collaborate with authorities such as the Ministry of Education for various academic and non-academic projects”, he said.
“The cosmopolitanism of the UAE is a beautiful asset and 360 Radio cherishes it. Listening to people who are different enable us to learn new things about the world we live in, which is why the station’s motto is “Listening is a virtue” and 360 Radio facilitates these conversations among the expatriates for whom UAE is their foster land, while remembering their motherland, cultures and languages,” said Sheikh Sultan Bin Saqr Al Nuaimi, Vice Chairman of Ajman Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and Chairman of 360 Radio, during the inauguration ceremony.
360 Radio, an online-digital radio, equipped with the latest smart software and technologies, envisages a world in which people listen more and understand each other better through educational and entertainment programmes. The bilingual station, operating primarily in English and Malayalam, will also be incorporating entertainment and educational programmes in Hindi, Tamil, Bengali and other Indian and South Asian languages. In addition, 360 Radio will make its educational programmes available as podcasts on the website, while the social media accounts will be presenting current affairs and expatriate news.
