“We are delighted to welcome a new Urdu language programme to OMNI.2’s weekend line-up,” says Alain Straiti, Vice President, OMNI Station Group, Specialty TV & Development. “The introduction of Aadab of OMNI.2 will further reflect this growing community and invite audience interaction in their language of comfort.”
Aadab is a 30 minute independent production from Samina Riaz (Radio Ghar Aangan) that highlights the issues of the local Urdu speaking community while providing a weekly platform for audience views.
