Channel content

[edit]

The channel shows video clips of Arabic and International music stars, coverage of international concerts, to distribute self-produced video clips and concerts, interviews with stars, and news programs on the international world and is managed by a team with over thirty years of experience in the music industry. Its target demographic is youth.[citation needed]

Content

[edit]

The channel aims to be a platform for the youth, letting their opinions be a large factor in future programming. It will be likely that Free TV will be pushing local R&B and hip hop music. Akon, Ludacris, as well as Lebanese-Canadian Karl Wolf, Qusai aka Don Legend the Kamelion - the first hip hop artist, and the UAE's Desert Heat. Furthermore.

Non-English music

[edit]

Until "Despacito" acquired the status of a global mega-hit, Free TV did not regularly play music sung in another language than English, but since Spanish-language música urbana became hugely popular outside of Latin America or the Latin American communities around the world in the late 2010s, the channel began to regularly play videos from artists like Luis Fonsi, J Balvin, Bad Bunny, Rosalía, Maluma, Anitta, as well Spanish songs by Shakira.
