A new Arabic-language satellite television channel backed by Sheikh Omar bin Zayed, the Aide de Camp to Sheikh Khalifa, President of the UAE, will launch today in Al Ain. Al Dafrah TV, a free-to-air channel, will begin broadcasting eight hours a day with seven reality-style programmes, representing each of the seven emirates, and a general focus on local issues and Emirati heritage, said Fatima Mohammed, the general manager of the station.
In the beginning, the channel will fill its programming day in part through repeat broadcasts, but the schedule will be expanded depending on the response from the audience. “We don’t want to start with something huge, we just want to give people our identity,” she said. “We just want to see if the viewers like us or not.”
