KUWAIT: Kuwait’s newest radio news studio is now live, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Information Dr Nasser Muheisen announced on Monday. The studio is considered one of the most advanced radio studios due to its state-of-the-art technologies and radio broadcasting equipment, he said. “This step will develop the studio's work mechanism by linking it to the servers of the TV news studio to facilitate the exchange of information between the radio and television studios,” he said in a statement to KUNA.
