Asian channels all set for Hajj coverage
It’s time for celebration on the Muslim calendar this weekend. Eid-ul-Adha takes place this weekend, so to coincide with that like every year Asian TV and radio channels are preparing themselves for live coverage of Hajj. The Hajj is the Fifth Pillar of Islam and therefore a very important part of the Islamic faith.
This year Hajj falls on Wednesday (19th January) and the following stations will be playing a key part in bringing you live streaming from Mecca on the auspicious day.
ARY Digital
ARY Digital will be carrying a special transmission that will air from 08:00 to 13:00 so that viewers can watch the Hajj proceedings live from Saudi Arabia.
ARY Digital Network?s President and CEO, Mr. Salman Iqbal, commented ?Like every year, ARY Digital is proud to bring Hajj transmission in 2005 for our valued viewers. We always aim to fulfil our audience expectations and this transmission is a firm testament of our resolve.?
