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.
