Sky News Arabia and Sky Sports F1 HD

dublinman1990

There has been some interesting changes to bskyb that came up very recently.

Sky News Arabia is one of the two new channels which is being launched later in the month (21st March 2012 I heard). The only snag though that the news there is to be read in Arabic; not English.

The beta version of the website looks very impressive so far.

Part of the set so far looks great (even though it is a small enough news set) when looking at these pics.

Does anyone who have Sky have the new Sky Sports F1 HD Channel. I think will the main uninterrupted live coverage for all the F1 races including some nice documentaries.

That was launched yesterday btw.

Jasus, Arabic?
On Sky News Arabia?
Whats will they think of next?
Arabic, ha?
On a channel broadcast to the Arab states!

They are looking to recruit at the moment and looking for a Translator - but look at the spec for the job:
As well as impeccable Arabic, he/she must have a thorough knowledge of political, economic and journalistic issues ....

I thought they would be looking foe someone with a soft Blas and an understanding of the life and times of Peig Sayers

Here is a youtube video (which is not mine) showing some promos and news boards relating to Home news; World and Sports News.

Not to forget the weather.;)

Most of the Music is very different in comparison to Sky News UK.

I hope you like it.
