Saudi Arabia to allow private radio stations Dubai, March 13. (PTI): Saudi Arabia will soon allow private Radio stations with the Government completing a study on how much investments can be allowed into the sector.
The study was carried out by the Ministry of Culture and Information in association with the Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority. "We are now in the final stage of announcing how such investments can be made, especially in radio stations," Culture and Information Minister Iyad Madani said. "The ministry will set out a regulatory framework for private participation," Madani said. Madani said that the launch of Saudi Arabian Television's fifth channel would take place in the near future. At present the television has four channels: Channel One (Arabic), Channel Two (English) and the Al-Ekhbariya and Sports Channels. He said, steps would be taken so that programmes of all Saudi satellite channels can be received without installing dish antennas. "The new television center in Jeddah is part of the Ministry's project to establish and upgrade television stations all over the Kingdom," he was quoted as saying by Arab News.
