Dubai TV Take “The Queen” Show Off Air

Dubai TV Station has stopped broadcasting the controversial program “The Queen”, about a self-proclaimed queen – UAE singer Ahlam, following a tirade of criticism and angry comments by viewers.

The station stopped airing the show, after viewers reacted indignantly to the behaviors of the artiste and the idea of the program itself.

Due to Twitter buzz with comments about the show, as many tweets attacking the first episode of the program and many questioned ‘Who is Ahlam looking for?’ as the concept of the program is based on the singer searching for her ‘best friend’ among a group of participants, who must endure number of tests as she picks a pal.

The program went off the air following a hash tag [#ذا_كوين], a campaign that prompted the station management to stop airing the program.
