| For the sake of non-Arab
Muslims, His Highness approved setting up of a retransmission
facility at the UAE Embassy premise in Nouakchott to
facilitate watching Sharjah TV clearly through ordinary
antennas by the people of Mauritania.
Concerning the station's programs special consideration
is given to local productions because that is the
best way to achieve comfort and ease for the society
and also it is the only guaranteed way to reveal and
reflect the real Arab and Islamic qualities. More
than 85% of the programmes are locally produced. Sharjah
TV is a regular participant in 'Cairo TV and Radio
Festivals' since 1997 and it won many golden, silver
and bronze medals and certificates on many occasions.
In August 1997 Sharjah Satellite channel was credited
with the title 'The Arab cultural channel' by the
Higher Committee held in Beirut to discuss the coordination
between the Satellite channels.

Children's studio : It was inaugurated
on the 1st day of Eid Al Adha, (10th of May 1995),
and allotted for conducting children's activities
and programs. Since then the place has become the
main venue for revealing children's capabilities and
innovations.
Al Khan transmission station : It
was inaugurated in 1995 to cover many new areas catering
