Pearl FM, the region’s only radio station for children, has announced that a group of children aged 8 to 13 years old, were trained to become the first children’s radio hosts in the country.
The announcement was made during a press conference held at the Al Jalila Cultural Centre for Children, AJCCC, on Thursday.
The hosts, both boys and girls, are from different nationalities. Starting from October 27th, the children will present The Kids Club show, a two-hour show which will be aired once a week with three reruns during the weekend. The pre-recorded episodes of the show cover a number of educational and entertaining topics, which are of interest to children such as the love of giving, the UAE, cartoons, occupations, family, travel and tourism.
"The station is keen on providing media training to children and in nurturing their talent by providing them with a platform through which they can develop their self-expression skills," said Adel Omar, Senior Special Project and Media Director at AJCCC. He added that over the last few months Pearl FM’s creative and talented team selected a group of children and provided them with training in the areas of presenting, preparing a radio show, understanding the internal structure of a radio station from producing to presenting to directing and finally, editing.
The children were trained to understand the inner workings of a radio station and were taught how to speak with confidence when talking into a microphone in the studio.
The Kids Club show will be broadcast in English and is directed by Mona Al Marri, Director and Producer at Pearl FM.
