Guys. Every morning I drive from Wakra to Doha and tune to QBS morning show to keep me awake. There is this host (male, don't know his name benny or something)who is so dull and he present the show as if he himself is in sleep.even my wife says she listens to this channel but this guy manage to keep her sleep :(

I strongly urge Traffic Dept. to do something about this as this is considered as a very dangerous traffic hassard which eventually leads to serious accidents.

Pl. Guys, help me to convey this message to QBS & Traffic Department for the safety of Road Users :(

I actually like the 7 pm 'Techno hour' on QBS, maybe that should move that to the morning so we can get pumped up on the way into work.

Midnight +18? Thanks DaRuDe! I was thinking of the Rock Show myself but oh well, I'll take what I can get.

I'm just happy to be the tea boy as long as I can loiter round the studio.

Anyone for the 5 minute culture show?

HHhhhmmmnnn, think that with all this together we should petition Qatari to start branching out into other media. QL Radio anyone? The DaRuDe drive time show? The Gypsy breakfast attack?

I would listen for one. Qatari, can you be the 101st applicant to the state?

Talking over lyrics, bad newsreading, and Marie Claire must be the Bahrain version of Bernie Lyons !!

They should listen to BBC Radio 1 on a morning and listen to how a radio show should be presented.....

I like it when Bernie starts singing along to songs, adding his own artistic interpretation to them.

Also, the news is fantastic. Forget about the mass murder in Philly or college shootings, collapse of states etc when you can find out that headlining the news is "This morning his excellency (insert name here) Sheikh (insert name or several names here)Al Th*ni, sent a telegram of congratulations to the King of Djbouti on the occassion on his sons graduation from high school. He also received a telephone call from the 2nd minor undersecretary of agriculture and missle defence from Durkadurkastan"

Followed by a long pause, you think there is something wrong with your radio, start to turn to check and the next story starts. Ahhhhhh, pros in action, love it!

Hahahaha, Bernie!!! Tuned into QBS this week for the first time in years and was surprised to find him still there. Oh my gosh, he cracks me up. But like QK said, it's the "unintentional comedy value"...he cracks himself up even more!

And his song selection??? Hilarious! Where does he find that stuff??!!

Harsha- I have no problem with the prayer breaks, but when they interrupt a song for a commercial or station ID? Weird.

I have a theory that poor old Bernie only ended up here in Qatar because UK hospital radio rejected him. I'm sure he was trained by Alan Partridge

He's about as funny as a dose of the skits; isn't it time the poor old sod was put out to pasture?

And yes, that bint who is on later - yesterday she was reporting some sports news and telling us that somebody had "completed in 2 metres, 25 seconds" .... obviously not realising that the "m" was for minutes. What a doughball!

I've been told there's been over 100 applicants to the State of Qatar to start new stations, so I guess it will be opening up "soon." Also Abu Dhabi is opening a HUGE media city, so we may be able to get stations from there soon.

Inshallah someday QBS will be defunct.

Gypsy, is there a chance you can set up your own station here or is it going to be a problem with the authorities? Surely it can't be that hard to do a better job than these guys.

Must admit, I was excited to be able to get Radio 2 on 106FM from Dubai. Not great but 100 times better than QBS.

I like listening to QBS for its unintentional comedy value. The DJ in the evening (I think its something like Johnny Boy) loves himself and puts on such a Raaaaaaaaadio voice its very funny.

How about the rock chick Maria something? She doesn't even know the history of the bands she's talking about.

She just reads stuff online and not bother making proper research.

And she speaks as if someone just died. :( And I hear this after a long day from work.

Don't even get me started on QBS, as a Radio Journalism major I actually find the station insulting. I spend most of my time screaming at the old guy in the morning or the daft twit of a girl who keeps talking over the songs and can't pronounce any words! UGH! I can feel my blood pressure rising just thinking about it!

And what's with the afternoon show from the UK, they know they are doing it for a GCC audience yet they talk about snow outside their windows, and interview random people from the UK that nobodies ever heard about!

ARRGGHHHH! I hate QBS!

The guy (Bernie Lyons I think) has been doing the same show for 20+ years, I think I'd be bored too. Not nearly as bad as the young Arab girl who so obviously reads her show of cue cards though.

you need bright and upbeat people on radio early morning to wake you up and keep you awake, I agree, a low droning voice would send you to sleep, not a good thing when driving.
