Doha: The Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development (QF) is taking QF Radio off the air at the end of October.
The radio service, launched in 2009, has been instrumental in promoting awareness about the foundation’s initiatives and programmes.
“As the organisation enters a new phase of sustainable development and builds on its foundation and past achievements to deliver more focused results, it must evolve the way it communicates with its audiences,” the foundation said in a statement.
Mohammad Al Beshri, QF Media Centre Manager, said the radio service “has been a key player in Qatar’s broadcast sector, and succeeded in connecting QF with the local community through its innovative and diversify youth and educational programming.”
“Additionally, QF Radio has covered all of the foundation’s events and trained many of its universities’ students, who participated in presenting and producing an array of live and recorded programmes,” he said.
Past and current successful programmes will be revisited and celebrated over the next few months. The Ramadan and summer schedules will be maintained and, until the end of October, the general public will be able to enjoy some of the programmes that marked the history of QF Radio, the statement added.
