No there isn't one, but there should be. Who's with me? I can't stand to listen to anymore elevator music, cd's played from start to finish, Bernie Lyons, The chick who can't pronounce anything, the talking over the songs.
as u know its satellite radio...the antenna shud aways be facing tward the worldspace satellite...so its a bit dodgy while driving around....but work fine for picnics & indoor use....
i got it from dubai...but then have encountered the local dealers here.... its located at the computer market on rayan road.. a shop next to familycomputers..can't remember the name.
they've got amazing heaps of stations...havent heard them for while though......
yea..i tried this sat radio called world space... was more fun installing the whole system rather than listening.. loads of channels...jus makes it moe diffiult to choose to listen....
@ Olive,you'd be hard pressed to find an efficient terrorist to do the job mate...they only go for high value targets & QBS is as far from high value as one can get...
Yeah Pajju Asianet...at 657AM is also very good....
The news readers on Asianet are excellent ....top class. These guys interview the politicians and celebrities and never afraid to ask the tough questions.....great!
the mallu songs are so damn melodious .....really lovely :)
I listened QBS only in Ramadan before evening prayers.....very informative!
Rest of the year whenever I put it on it seems to be a French broadcasting channel. Sometimes kids listened to Top 20, otherwise we play only CD player.
I always picture Bernie being picked up in his luxury limousine and being dropped off at QBS in the morning and then using his Zimmer Frame to get to the office..
The best one is the lady who pretends to interview pop celebrities...
svelte_saggi after listening to 89.1FM (mentioned by MrPaul on QL)I have never done 97.5FM
The people at 89.1 (UAE) are so much full of fun.....I prefer to listen to them talking and joking more that the songs...lol
Its really sad the transmission is not clear on some days :(
The Chick at QBS is really crazy trying to speaking in "sing song" manner playing with the fader ...up and down....up and down...in such a predictable way.....usually everybody at QBS does it or maybe its the sound technician....(usually its the Radio Jocky who handles the faders & mixers)...so dumb amatures!
i never listen to it these days.it's loads better to compile a few of my favorite songs and play them on the CD player....at least i won't wreck my nerves listening to all that nonsense on my way to work in the morning...

Stopped listening it long time back.....when we listen to other FMs...this not even comparable...
Why cant they hire some good RJ's and play something good... and the news reader sounds like she is giving a condolence message.... wonder why Wanda sounds so sad always...
"How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, tolerant of the weak. Someday you will have been all of these."
she was lost she couldn't name any name properly. and was like having hiccups then there was 1minute silence and the door closed thats what we heard on the radio and guess what they replaced the newscaster and she was reading the news as if she was on race track running.
it's high time qatar had better radio stations....i had suggested that somebody ought to start radio stations in popular regional languages other than arabic a long time.but then everybody made fun of me.so i left it at that.now,i have all the channels in my car CD player tuned to all the different stations from Dubai,Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

I can't listen to it anymore. It's a disgrace to Qatar. Today Bernie Lyons played elevator music while he waited for the 3 people in Doha stuck listening to his stupid show to call in. 20 minutes of it!
ME!!!!two hands and two feet up in the air! :-D i wait and wait for them to put at least one normal 'listenable' song and i guess i'll just have to keep doing that!

It's for your own benefit..
The FBI and RCMP track keywords and you may have problems getting back to North America..
That's so funny! You got crushed Olive.
Do what you need to do. Just make sure you can live with the consequences
QBS = Qatar Brain Suckers
internet radio ppl... take advantage of 3g.
This is ridiculous, now my post doesn't make sense.
i thought you changed it.
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY DOOOOOOOOOOOOONT CHANGE THE TITLE OR I WILL POST AN OTHER TOPIC QBS BROADCASTER NISREEN AND RANASARSAR GOT KIDNAPPED.
i don't listen to the radio anymore,.. i always carry my iPod with me.. ;)
People,today, still listen to the radio???
If Ipods or cd players are broken, start singing!!!
Anything is better than the radio stations here, please!
Hey, why'd they change my title?
QBS sucks big time
.
I only have to listen to it when other HINDI channels are not clear.
We could form the QL Ninja Squad to quietly sneak up and disable Bernie's hearing aid..
Or we could use decoy Ninja gerbils to go in and gnaw through the wiring at the station..
in that case,count me in!!...with the onset of winter,the sad reality of no more radio2 106.0 until next summer is slowly beginning to sink in...(:
Who needs to hire someone gardene. I say let's do it ourselves!
KureduChick ...then get some "show reels" ready...
There is going to be some kind of upgrade soon....
I stopped listening to radio years ago.
I listen to podcasts while I drive.
@ Olive,you'd be hard pressed to find an efficient terrorist to do the job mate...they only go for high value targets & QBS is as far from high value as one can get...
I would love to be a radio presenter! I would rock the place. I'd need someone to press all the buttons but seriously I would be great! My ideal job.
Do what you need to do. Just make sure you can live with the consequences
IN which no we can listen QBS RADIO station ?
Yeah Pajju Asianet...at 657AM is also very good....
The news readers on Asianet are excellent ....top class. These guys interview the politicians and celebrities and never afraid to ask the tough questions.....great!
the mallu songs are so damn melodious .....really lovely :)
Jack - seriously , those guys in 657 AM rock . Leo, Wilson, satheesh..etc

The stone age Brit? Since when was elevator music assigned to a generation?
I like QBS.. It's the only station that plays music from my generation :O)
i never listen to it these days.it's loads better to compile a few of my favorite songs and play them on the CD player....at least i won't wreck my nerves listening to all that nonsense on my way to work in the morning...

No choice today. CD player is broken. We were stuck.

QBS "The Only English Radio Staion in Qatar"
yeah right, with a French program on it :/
"How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, tolerant of the weak. Someday you will have been all of these."
the news last night at 8pm on QBS.
she was lost she couldn't name any name properly. and was like having hiccups then there was 1minute silence and the door closed thats what we heard on the radio and guess what they replaced the newscaster and she was reading the news as if she was on race track running.
LOL olive, to lessen your pain make it a point everyday not to listen to QBS, love your BP hehehe, listen to your favorite CDs instead.
good thing rana wasn't on air when you tuned in, you could die listening to her hehehehe
I love QBS. As it is the only Radio station left on this earth? So have to bare the trauma..
