Alhurra, a US-based Arabic-language satellite TV channel, will launch its primetime magazine programme Al Youm from Cairo’s Tivoli Dome today (September 4).

Thousands of Egyptians are expected to be present during the live show co-hosted by Al Youm anchors Engy Anwar and Amr Khalil. The broadcast will feature a performance by Egyptian singer Ramy Sabry who will sing his hit song Kelma.

In addition to the live September 1 broadcast, Al Youm builds on the success of “Tell Us Your Story” campaign, where Egyptian viewers are invited to come out and record a two-minute interview about their life.

The most compelling narratives will be selected and their story will appear on the programme and Al Youm’s Facebook page (facebook.com/alyoumshow). The campaign runs from August 30 to September 5.

Khalil expressed his excitement to meet with his viewers again in Tivoli Dome. “It is even more special because we’re celebrating Eid. It is also a great opportunity to listen to new stories and offer the very best to our viewers.”

Anwar remarked, “I am really looking forward to meeting with Al Youm’s audience for the second time. Having the show outside the studio always brings a whole new energy to the programme.” – TradeArabia News Service
