The QBS English Service Radio launched at the end of 1971 with an aim to cater to the English-speaking communities in Qatar.
During that time, QBS Radio broadcasted daily for one hour but eventually moved up to include three live shows.
Gradually, those early beginnings turned into a variety of programs and segments that touch upon several topics. Accordingly, as of 2019 and the years to come, a combination of hard-work, perseverance and professionalism will continue to be poured into QBS Radio allowing it to grow exponentially providing its listeners with compelling content and a broad range of music adhering to an array of preferences.
Qatar Media Corporation (QMC) is the official broadcasting authority for the State of Qatar.
