In the selection process to send a Broadcaster to Saudi Arabia to cover the Hajj event three broadcasting channels have been shortlisted in the draw held for this purpose.
From the total of the 14 channels that participated in this draw, Raaje TV, VTV and Dhivehi Raajege Adu were selected to submit CV’s of nominating candidates to Saudi Arabia. The draw was held at the Faan Maalam of the Broadcasting Commission. Upon the submission of a candidate’s CV from the shortlisted channels the final selection will be made by the authorities from Saudi Arabia.
Deputy CEO of Raaje TV Abdullah Yamin took the draw on behalf of Raaje TV. Director General of VTV, Mohamed Shameem and Director of News, Mohamed Jinah participated in the draw representing VTV and Dhivehi Raaje ge Adu respectively.
On 10th September Ministry of Islamic Affairs has requested Maldives Broadcasting Commission to select a broadcaster for the Hajj trip offered by the Saudi government to cover the Hajj event via Radio and Television. The role of this selection was given to the Commission in response to the Commission’s request. In the past, the Hajj trip was given to the state broadcasting media even though commercial broadcasters have commenced service in Maldives from 2007 onwards. Being the regulator of broadcasting, the Commission has decided to make the selection process to be fair and equitable to all broadcasters.
According to the selection criteria set by the Saudi government , the eligible person need to be an experienced male broadcast journalist who has not performed Hajj before.
