Qatar Media Corporation (QMC) launched Qatar 2 TV channel on Thursday. The new channel will broadcast the most important programmes presented by Qatar TV throughout its history.
HE Sheikh Abdulrahman bin Hamad al-Thani, CEO of Qatar Media Corporation, had earlier this week reviewed the preparations for the opening of the channel.
The Assistant Director of Qatar TV and Programme Director Mubarak al-Awami said Qatar 2 TV will form a distinct mix of all the materials presented by Qatar TV throughout its history, noting that the launch of this channel was preceded by days of work to prepare the shows that deserved to be broadcast again, as well as the preparation of a diversified programme schedule.
The new channel is expected to draw a large following in the coming period, as it would present programmes from the distinct stages in the history of Qatar.
Hamad Abdel Reda, one of the content supervisors at the channel, stressed that the preparations for the launch of the TV channel started a long time ago and several meetings have been held since then to decide the final form of the channel.-QNA
