BBC Arabic launches news bulletins on Mango FM in Khartoum:
(BBC Press Release, 15.09.2006)
The BBC continues to expand its presence in Sudan with the launch of BBC
Arabic news bulletins on partner station, Mango 96 FM in Khartoum. As a
result of the new partnership, news bulletins in Arabic can be heard at the
top of each hour from 6.00am until midnight, local time.
Fouad Razek, Business Development Manager for Africa and Middle East, BBC
World Service, said: "We are delighted to be providing BBC Arabic news
bulletins seven days a week to Mango 96 FM.
"This new arrangement complements the BBC relay already available in
Khartoum on 91.0 FM and ensures that our news bulletins are available to a
wider audience."
Mekki Mahmoud Abdulla, Chairman of Mango Holding, added: "We are very
pleased to be co-operating with the BBC in this way.
"The new agreement means that whilst the majority of our output continues
to have a lighter and more locally focussed appeal, the BBC bulletins
ensure that our audience are kept up to date with international events in a
regular, concise and authoritative way.
"This tie-up with the BBC is in line with Mango Media's rapid development
plans to be a complete information provider to its customers in the Sudan."
BBC World service programmes can also be heard in Sudan on 91.0 FM in Al
Ubayyid, 90.0 FM and 88.2 FM in Juba, 91.0 FM in Port Sudan and 91.5 FM in
Wad Madani.
