QBS Radio - Feedback

Hi every one!

I think the QBS radio is really boring and needs serious revamp. The RJ's are so dead boring and the programs terrible. Its high time they open up this sector and let other players come in and at the same time - get a team of fresh RJs to liven up the station!

I wonder what they mean by the term GULF's Number 1..??? which does not make any sense.. some great programs go and all of a sudden a crappy program follows it...!!

Well champs there are quite a few ppl waiting to open a radio station here...but the Govt isnt allowing that to happen...

Something like QTel and its monopoly so wait for a little time and u will have a new station...and on top of all it seems there arent any available frequencies...

The only solution is - MORE CHANNELS and SOME REAL RJs. Separate channels for each language! I wonder why QBS is trying to save money and squeeze a french and english transmission into one!

I cant think of one decent RJ in QBS. Not one who is sharp and witty enough to keep the crowd entertained. All of them just read out stuff from papers and books! That - any freak could do it! They need to get RJs who can interact with the public and entertain the crowd NOT READ OUT JOKES!

And recently they have started these shows with 2 RJs at a time - they are SUCH A disaster - I feel like hitting myself when I accidentally hear them talk!

Maaaaaaaaan - they seriously need to shut down that place!

AR.

I am a fan of Radio programs and I find QBS not upto my satisfaction cos:

1. QBS Should try to Improve their programs specially in the morning Hours, cos most people on the roads in the morning hours uncomfortably end up listening to debates, and stuff which include lots of concentrated listening, which is not practical for someone driving . Pragrams like this London **** and this no good country songs which does not at all go twith the day, is really boaring, I hate to listen but have no choice since QBS is the only English radio channel clear enough in Doha.

2. Afternoons, are even worst.... cos u end up listening French Debates.. owwwww..!!!

3. 4.00Pm - And throughout till mid night is ideal

4. Above all Night Times with Joe Mitry are the best.....yet when u come home thinking of relaxing, some great music are being played over QBS.... (ohh), so u eventually don't relax the whole day.

Considering all these I decided to go ahead and purchase a CD Player for my Car... and eventually give up listening to QBS...

QBS is the best for latest updated news - Last week 1.00pm news bulletin said " A Japanese national was arrested in 500km from south of Manila while filming a phonography movie. 2 of the video equipment were confisticated."

LONG LIVE QBS. MY FAVOURITE STATION...........

Where is the competition, they keep fooling themselves for being number 1 in the Gulf.. Huh

Ever since i was born, I am hearing the same old QBS Radio that has never changed till date. Qatar is booming in all aspects, but look at QBS. The RJ's suck big time and still play country music. And what more.. It shares its frequency with French..

The RJ's are like of 50's playing the old country music,outdated tracks, thier CD plays need to be given to the museum, thier sound quality is so poor.. Never ever wake up listing to QBS, since you can sleep for ever.. Grow up QBS..

get some nice talented RJ's, Look at Bahrain, Dubai.. even thier English, Hindi & Arabic Channels thier sound quality is good and most of them keep you so updated. In Dubai people spend time driving, listeing to great music, and Traffic Jams updates.. this could help us here as well..

Anyway, no point.. QBS you are number 0 in the world...

QBS is SO amateur, it is amazing it has lasted this long. The music in the evening is just about acceptable, but the morning shows are good entertainment. I laugh all the way to work especially when the presenters cant even read the news properly...maybe they are under the influence...? But as you guys have rightly pointed out, the UAE radio stations are worth listening too.

Most of the guys I know end up listening to stations from Dubai! The stations from Bahrain are also not bad..

I wish my friend Fawwaz (RJ Jojo & show producer on QBS) was here in Doha, he sucked as an RJ anyway, I'd have recommended your name to him. Got kicked out by Shorty Al-Baker for hitting on his girl.

Anyhow, any idea on how to get a new radio station started? There are dozens of new FM stations springing up in India each year. So is the case with Dubai. There's gotta be a way!
