Why French is necessary on QBS FM radio

By waasim

From 1 pm till 4 pm, french transmission is on air on QBS radio FM 97.5, while driving I tuned on my radio and i was insane, i couldn't understand a single word. Why it is necessary to air in french, how many people in doha are french listeners. And if it is very necessary for a linguistic harmony among different nationalities then why not couple of hours should be dedicated for hindi/urdu transmission, I guess, Hindi/urdu listeners club is a widespread majority in Qatar (Indians,Pakistanis and Nepalis) and above all, QBS will earn a huge amount of revenue in terms of advertisement. What is your say on it?

i've asked the same question to myself many times.

i drive home from work at 1.00 and go back at 3.45.

i'm forced to listen to french some days since the other frequencies are disturbed by wind.

alternatively i listen to 105.4 and 89.1 for uae - bollywood transmission, or other arabic channels.

I wonder if it is because there are many Lebanese people here. Many Lebanese people have French as their main or second language.
