A radio service for Cairo’s metro riders: Kemet is a three-month old radio service that broadcasts 16-minute long episodes on Egyptian cultural heritage and folklore. The service runs for 18 hours straight everyday, starting 7 am, on the platforms of Cairo’s metro stations and aims mainly to enhance people’s cultural and historical knowledge. Executive Officer Ahmed Meshal tells Gulf News that the programs cater to the different classes, educational backgrounds, and age groups of the Cairo metro’s 5 mn or so daily commuters. He added that the broadcast avoids “divisive issues” and “a triangle of taboos: [redacted], religion, politics.” While the street has given mixed reviews about the service, Meshal says that his next step is to bring it into the trains.
