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.
"The studio has been linked to the Arab news editorial hall so that news bulletins are sent directly to the broadcast studio through a digital network, which saves effort and time and ensures the safety of broadcasting news bulletins on time.” He stated that under the directives of the Minister of Information, Abdulrahman Al-Mutairi, the ministry is working on a comprehensive strategy and action plan to develop the media work system at the technical level and develop the capabilities of ministry employees.
