History

2ME is Australia's first 24-hour commercially owned Arabic-language radio station. Transmission began in Sydney in 1996 and in Melbourne in 1998.

The company also supplies Arabic programming for the in-flight entertainment service on Royal Brunei Airlines and Gulf Air.[1]

Programming

The station features Arabic and English language music following both a Classic Hits and Top 40 format. 2ME broadcasts local and national news along with BBC World News on the hour. The programming day is broken into traditional shifts with an emphasis on talkback and listener participation during the day. Evening programs concentrate on music and live concerts.[2]
