Ahmed Saeed Al Mansouri, CEO of TV and Radio at DMI has clarified that Dubai One is undergoing a routine review of programmes and media content. The broadcaster has no plans to close down the English language channel.
Al Mansouri said that there no administrative decision to discontinue the channel or terminate the services of its employees. He added that the distribution of the programmes included in the channel’s grid is based on studies and market research that will help in the formulation of a clear strategy of the most followed and the most watched programmes by the audience.
Sarah Jarman, Director of Dubai One, said: “As part of the DMI bouquet of channels, Dubai One aims to attract more audiences by offering the latest entertainment programming. The channel will be focusing on more Hollywood and international movies, top dramas and sitcoms as well as exclusive world programmes.
“All of Dubai Ones programmes are under review in order to enhance and develop our new programme grid scheduled for September 14, 2014. No decision has been taken yet regarding the restructuring or cancellation of the existing programmes, as any such decision will need approval from DMIs board of directors.”
