/in /by

Sharjah Media Corporation has launched the first English language radio station, Pulse 95 in Sharjah. Pulse 95 will focus on presenting a mix of local and international news, interviews, features, chart-topping hits and popular music in acoustic format.

The new station will also feature three main daily live shows and will see the appointment of a new team of presenters. Omar Al Busaidy, who most recently worked with AbuDhabi Tourism Authority, Sara Al Madani who previously worked with the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Sally Mousa, who was previously a Presenter for Dubai Today will be presenting ‘The Morning Majlis’ from 7am – 10am. Anna Roberts having previously worked at Dubai 92 and Virgin Radio will host ‘Musafir in the City’ from 4pm – 5pm. Hassan Dennaoui also known as Big Hass and Ana Schofield who most recently worked with Dubai 92 will present ‘Yalla Home’ from 5pm – 8pm.

“We have ensured that every aspect of the content is consistent and the introduction of the acoustic music element follows that perfectly, being complementary rather than intrusive,” says Mohammad Yanez, Head of Pulse 95. “Our goal is to be a totally inclusive, fun, trusted, feel-good station, bringing the listeners positive upbeat stories of real people. We are the first English station in Sharjah, but we are not aiming purely at listeners who are native English speakers. Pulse 95 is still very much an option for people who understand English and still enjoy the format and content of the shows even though it may not be their first language.”

The Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) has forged a number of partnerships in order to draw attention to the cultural enrichment of Sharjah. Through these partnerships, SCCI will collaborate with Twitter, Forbes Middle East, Brag Events and Careem in order to raise awareness of the Emirate as a destination for entrepreneurs as well as established businesses.

“Sharjah’s strength has always come from the people who share a love for the city, so it’s only natural that we continue to encourage business opportunities and economic growth as we strive to build the next entrepreneurial ecosystem in the Emirate,” says Sara Al Madani, Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry Board Member and Member of the ShjSeen Board of Trustees. “This is the first time a Government organisation in Sharjah has partnered with a company like Twitter. Having the best online engagement ranks high on our strategy and our partnerships with Twitter, Careem, Brag and Forbes will give us the means to share with the world what Sharjah fans already know.”

Kinda Ibrahim, Director of Media Partnerships, Twitter, adds “We are excited to work with the Chamber of Commerce to leverage Twitter’s real time, conversational and public network. This partnership will help the Chamber of Commerce connect with people in the UAE and across the world, as well as highlight Sharjah as a centre of excellence for business in the UAE.”
