QBS French transmission finally led to rest?

The french crusaders are back in Paris, talking to their President, They are just in a break hunting frogs to eat their legs....

Hamlet, anyway, I guess we don't feel the same.

But let's forget about all this. There are more important things to focus on.

For example supporting your people during these harsh days. I hope they will do well.

Regards,

Laulasqatar,

You actually made me return back to my previous comments to check if I said anything offensive that is worth of all this retilation from your side and I found out nill. If I said anything it was just a reply to mr "Habby Birzday" :ppppp

What can I say...chill dude, it ain't worth it

have a nice weekend

Even worst than before....

One can express himself in a polite and intelligent manner by precisely giving his/her opinion on a particular subject, while still respecting others who have different point of views. When someone is throwing to people such low level comments, how do you expect them to react?

Furthermore, treating the same people - and I quote - pathetic fanatics... shows nothing but a pure lack of respect and education.

The problem I have is not the subject of your initial message "QBS French transmission". I agree with you, it can be classified as a non crucial matter. Yes. But what bothers me, and I am not the only one, is the way you've gratuitously disrepected french speaking people. This is what can be described as pathetic, and definitely worth commenting.

Respect others, they will respect you back.

Habby Birzday hamlet

It is quite funny how expressing one point of view in such non crucial matters can make some pathetic fanatics so angry :pppp you both need to go and get a life honiez

I love Paris!

I am quite desperate to see that today, someone like "HAMLET" (what a great name you've chosen, considering his greatness, and your smallness ), is showing so little respect over one's country, its tradition and language. QBS french program was far from being excellent but it allowed french speaking people living in Qatar to enjoy listening to some music and get the news. So sorry for your lovely little ears if they have been "hurt"... but to be honnest, I don't give a F...

Just to play your game, let's compare modernity in France and compare it with Egypt....desole!!

I don't want to lower myself to your level. So I will stop here.

At least these countries speack french and other language and they don;t say " Habby Birzday" like you

Do you have any problem with mozambique???

At least we don;t have a president for life time :) and you cannot do anything, and we don;t kill christians in church and we don;t fight for 2 football teams, respect other countries especially that you are not better

Oh serioulsy they speak French in Belgium, Canada and even France !!!! I didn't know that :pppppp and being a minority language in Canada and Belgium make it a grwoing and popular language !!!!!! I didn't know that also:pppppp

Don't you think that bashing Indians is somehow not the right thing to do when you are from...Mozambique :ppppppppp

Enjoy your Oryx :pppppppp

Dear Hamlet,

Judging by the comments above it doesn't seem that the French program is so popular as you are suggesting: ppp

( i'm sorry to tell that is polupalr and this why we have a station now) sorry haaaa

And even though I am an Egyptian passport holder, I don't listen to either Amr Diab or Tamer Hosny (or any Arabic music as a matter of fact)

( you can listen to the meat singer lady gaga)

On a side note what Indians have to do with what I am saying?!

( i keep you the indian dear i don;t want them to agree with me)

Last time I checked French was diminishing in importance all over the world, even in its own country, so I can hardly call embracing French a sign of progress (unless you live in the 1920s when it was still vogue then :ppppp)

( in the end it's a language they talk in many country like france, canada, belgum,...) if you don;t know it it's a ignorance from your part)

Any way don't worry, just read today that they are starting a dedicated French channel, enjoy it as much as you can....away from us :pppppp

( at least we can listen to some music)

the French speaking community got thier own 24/7 french speaking Radio station, 97.5 is English only and i think 94 is french "oryx" radio.

Really??? The presenter/RJ/DJ/Whatever-they're-called who phoned me the other day to find out info on QAWS said it was brand new and starting on Sunday (today).

...as i posted a comment with this new radio on Friday, look carefully upper!

The Oryx radio is on air since couple of weeks now, at least beginning of this new year! Surprising to read the news on gulf times only today (probably making it official these days only).

Yep, now all the French programs are on Oryx FM 94FM.

They started great playing saongs all day (probably the testing period)...thought it's all French programs and news but was surprised that have a program to teach arabic on the radio!!!!! and the news jingle is same as QBS!! beside that..they still interrupt the broadcast for the prayer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hamlet - anything pointless you can put it in the pointless thread :)

http://qatarliving.com/node/1559600

French channel for a hundred thousand who all come from North African countries and Lebanon, while ignorring the much bigger Indian and Phillipino communities:pppppppp another totally pointless move that doesn't make any commercial sense. Why don't those people listen to the superb radio channels in Dubai and witness the amount of commercials broadcasted on them. Give people what they really want and rip the benefits !!!

Oryx FM Radio Station, a new French radio service in Qatar, will start airing a variety of programmes round the clock from 6.30am today, it was announced during the station’s launch yesterday.

A partnership between Qatar Media Corporation (QMC) and Radio France International (RFI), Oryx FM will broadcast on the frequency of 94 FM various programmes ranging from news, culture, economics and sports apart from a wide music selection of French and world music.

“Today’s launch of Orxy FM is a milestone for the 100,000 French-speaking people in Qatar,” said French Ambassador Gilles Bonnaud, adding France and Qatar has been enjoying strong bilateral ties in many sectors such as education, science and justice.

Well French are going to have thier own FM channel Oryx FM

Outlife,

"some british transmission is on with crappiest talks and no music. Let's hope it'll be over as well!" - I second the motion!

Hamlet,

many people want to listen to French section and we are waiting everyday this 3 hrs.

you can listen to a CD for amr diab or tamer housni this 3 hrs.

not everybody is Egyptian, and Indian in this country, so you have to respect everybody here.

By the way Sheikh Mouhammad did his presentation in French language so we want the country to go far not back

Can they get rid of those terible so called deejays next please????

well i like french language but it was annoying me as well. They had to post the french as far as i remember every thursday at lunch time. well it seems to be like good news ;) let them have a pvt channel so whomever would like to listen to french session he can in pvt frequency... but still it is nice to have different programs in different languages.

Eeeeerrrr nope....

during this time period, or early in the morning?

what a relief!

nomad, I must agree with your comment... amongst all the english-spoken radio stations in Qatar... QBS is by far, the very freaking best ;-)

...as we can now switch from crap QBS programs to a brand new ORYX radio station fully dedicated to French!!!

Thank you, now we have our own radio, QBS english programs are really crap sorry but it is true...

QBS is now really the number 1 radio station in Qatar ;-p

yes, from January 1, French stupid transmission is stopped on the Gulf's number Last and transmitted to dedicated FM frequency of 94.8! At least, u don't listen to french crap, still must listen to english crap qbs dj's talk about. However, in the afternoon hours, some british transmission is on with crappiest talks and no music. Let's hope it'll be over as well!

Well, there's gotta be something wrong with a language that calls a trashcan "la poubelle"...

Oh, please, God, please, no more French!

Mandi

Long live QBS ..

Love the songs. They're the only ones I can remember the words to :O)

Thank GOD!!!! It was really useless!!!

I'm French and this show was so annoying, horrible music from the 80s and anyway, who understands French AND is in such dire need to listen to French music on the radio..

bye bye!

LOL I know, but what we can do? in the days of bad weather when we can't get any of Dubai or Bahrain's stations we are stuck with QBS :ppp

lol angelina!

Now can they get rid of the so called 'English' bit now and put people that can string two English words together on? Oh and songs that are not circa 1960???

hamlet, still QBS sucks :D

French kisses or not, thank God that its gone, ohhh after 8 years of suffering :(

You must be the bad boy of QL

i actually started liking the French show....it sometimes reminded me of French Kiss....:)

Wow...this news is incredible, that French show was horrible.

Starting a dedicated French program is such a stupid decision, those people are still living in the 1930s, but who cares as long as they stay away from QBS it is fine...

good news indeed, thanks Chelsea :)

I believe it's a seperate station so QBS won't have the French transmission in the afternoon anymore.

is that true Chelsea? on a Sunday?

oh no please, no more French transmissions :(

dedicated french transmission is a welcome decision.

yeah start it so all people from Qatar will start shaking their head left and right ! LOLZ

They're starting a dedicated French station on Sunday.

Darude will be the RJ for Urdu/hindi transmission..:) when they hear the wolf's voice..everybody will switch off their radios....lol

DaRuDe, Yeah I am still alive and kicking but for some reason I got tired of Qatar living, working on a come back though ;) how are you, good to see you :)

you are still alive where have you been all this time

Even though I like it the way it is now (popular and new English songs) a Hindi transmission is also much welcomed, at least the Hindi music is far better than the African nonsense they used to play in the desceased French transmission and it will cater to the needs of a wide base of listeners

Hindi/Urdu or Pashto Radio station...:(

instead they should start a dedicated Hindi/Urdu Radio Station...

Quality Broadcasting Service

Now start Hindi music in that time slot :P

Its about F.... time.

so far it is true (unless my mind was playing wishfull games with me!) just hope they don't change their mind. The strange thing is i don't see people celebrating in the streets, was I the only one tortured by this horrible and totally pointless program

good news if true!
