CAIRO (Sputnik) — Sputnik Arabic will be airing its news bulletins and a program on current events in Lebanon, the Window on Lebanon, for two hours a day from 5:45 to 7:45 p.m. Beirut time.
"We are very excited about working with Voice of Lebanon… This partnership will enable us to reach a wider base of Sputnik Arabic followers who are looking for news and facts without spin," Sputnik Arabic’s Chief Editor Darin Ahmatova said.
Ahmatova said the Arab-language radio would seek partnerships with media in other Arab countries to "serve all the residents of the Arab world."
Sputnik Arabic already broadcasts in Iraq through Al Rasheed, a prominent radio station. In Syria, its programs are aired via Sham FM.
