ps. probably refurbishing work at Riyadh broadcast center at present,
though their 9 x highpower transmitter are mostly not elder than a decade
...
These UAE, Oman and Saudi Arabia states are also developing
architecturally rapidly and with enormous amounts of money,
see Qatar Football World Cup grandiose urban development -
- so - do the Saudi's perhaps need the Riyadh TX site
for other government or urban building development soon ?

What is actually the current use of the shortwave transmitters in Saudi
Arabia? Are the Riyadh facilities, meanwhile encircled by construction
sites, still in operation at all? Tonight nothing can be confirmed on 9555,
9650, 7425, 11820, 11915. Probably active are 9675 and 11930, and pretty
likely the two specials on 11745 and 11860. Definitely Riyadh Radio on 1521.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhpuSD1xnvM pretty much looks as if the new
radio program has been set up at Dubai as well. Just the Al Arabiya boss
appears to be in Riyadh or to move back and forth between both locations...

AlArabiya " The Arabic language in English " is a well know Saudi funded
network started with a 2 TV networks AlArabiya and Alhadath mainly as a news
network to be the Saudi voice against the Qatari funded Network "
AlJazeera".
Adding an FM station that started transmitting in Jeddah on 106.6 MHz and in
Riyadh on 103.5 MHz .
Using the same slogan as the TV network ....AlArabiya FM ..to know more .
