Fatafeat Comment
December 18, 2006Here’s a comment from the Chairman/Managing Director of Fatafeat, Mr.
Hello friends,
My Fatafeat team have been working for nine months to put together the Fatafeat channel, buy the best shows from around the world and finally getting ready for the launch.I am delighted to see some true fans of this channel and it really encourages us to offer even more passion to a great human activity: Food enjoyment.
Now then, I am happy to share with you this;
1. Fatafeat is Free To Air. It relies on advertising revenues.
2. We are launching our programing within a few days. We are aiming for a week from Monday latest. Let’s hope all the kinks to do with subtitling our programs go smoothly.
Thanks again and I look forward to your advice, comments, suggestions, …recipes?
Please feel free to contact us anytime.

I thought it was appropriate, seeing as Christmas is around the corner. 🙂
What a fabuolus new channel the Arabic world have, Well done. Wishing you more success and waiting for more to come.
hi
how coool
how about Much Music ?!
wish you the best.

Much Music is from the same people, no? It’s okay. I have it set on my favorite channels. Thanks for dropping by. 🙂
Congratulations on the launch of the new channel. I am enjoying watching it very much. However, I have one comment. There seems to be a mistake in the timings that are displayed. I live in Kuwait (i.e. same time zone as KSA) and when a certain program is due to start at 8.30 KSA, it actually starts at 11.30 KSA. I would appreciate it if you could remedy this matter.
Also please advise how to find out the weekly schedule in advance.
Thanks
Sahar
Thank you all for your great support and comments, we are working hard on tweeking the station and getting the best programs out there for our viewers. The station is still brand new, still a baby, so please excuse any irregularities you might see the first couple of weeks. But we promise that soon it will be even more impressive and enjoyable to watch.
As far as the Satellite settings that Don Veto Asked about, its Nile Sat 3, polarization V, 12341 MHZ, but if you have Nile sat, usually all you’ll need to do is just do a manual search and you’ll find the Channel
And Sahar, thank you for feedback about the wrong KSA timmings, we actually noticed that and should have that fixed today.
As far as the weekly grid, you will be able to find the updated weekly grid and more information on our website which will be launched very soon. We’ll also love to keep hearing from you till then through this page or through our emails.
Thank you all, and please keep us posted with your feedbacks

I love your channel!!
it is really very good and ishallah will keep getting better and better
still, i have 2 comments;
1- I hate, simply hate, that tag of the ant with a male voice saying (feen el akel ya mara????), I find it offensive and kind of a bad word that is not in use to discribe wemen in most of arab countries (I know they in lebanon do use it, but still!!)..so please change it or replace with another one
2- there is no far east food program or specialized chief that can show us the secrets of the japaness, chineas, malazian …etc food
thank you
hope the best for you and the channel
I will keep in tuch isa
I have found my comment, sorry to have my doubt of you!!!!!!!!
where do you broadcast from?
Am living in Kuwait. I love this channel immensely….am an avid fan…I wish many more people view this channel. I cant tell you I spend hours together watching Fatafeat…and wish you all best of luck, and hope you will continue successfuly airing it. Your channel is fabulous…I wonder why no one ever thought of airing a channel with food shows before.
But I had only one tiny complaint…I dont like the black and white ads,though the concept is new..once or twice is good, but after a while it does get boring. Oh do take this as positive criticism…
Also,I do have a request, although the Schedule is displayed in english and arabic, the advertisements which come up dont state the week day in english, only the timings are in english…i wish you would add the week day in english too.
100 marks to your channel.
Best of Luck
Thanks for putting up a great show for us.

Marline, thank you very much for your comments and good wish’s, and you made a really good point about displaying the days in English as well as Arabic, and we will be doing that within the next 48 hours. Thanks again for bringing our attention to this.
If you have anymore comments or questions, please feel free to email us on: info@fatafeat.com
Thank you

I agree with Marline about the black and white ads, but I think it will take its time and go
dont know your action towards my comment, you dont like it, you just act as never seen it,no problem
one thing:are you Magdi Omar the former petroleum sector company president?! I dont think so, any way
Very happy for you. I wanted to wish you the best of luck.
I have a quistion if I may please, a friend of mine is a very good cook can she make a show at fatafeat.
Best Regards

Mr. Magdi,
Thank you for your kind reply.
Today while watching Fatafeat, I saw the update in English. You sure kept your word. Thank you very much.I sure will not miss my favorite shows.
Plus its really good that you are putting up various advertisements.It keeps viewers hooked on.
I really appreciate your immediate response.
Thank you,
Marline
Your channel is fabulous and attracted lots of people since it started.
My only comment is the repetition of the same program on the same day. I would like also to see some other cuisines like Japanese and Chinese.
Thank you and good luck.

I love this channel! I have been living in the Gulf for about 6 months now and the channel I missed the most from home was the Food Network, especially Giadi DiLaurentis and her show Everyday Italian. Just watching Jacques Torres make chocolate is enough to satisfy my cravings! I recently discovered Fatafeat when I had to reset my satellite receiver and have been watching it almost nonstop for the past week to catch up on all of my favorite cooking shows!
please please please cancel ABBAS series it is too boring too bad he cant cook so admit this fact and replace this program by something good and have we in Egypt or arabic countries (haloween)!!! why many series were diffused in ur channel celebrating haloween ?
LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT.
your channel is really unique,I am not finding any other channel to put other than yours.I am really enjoing doing new receipes from your channel

I love the Channel! It’s on all the time in my home.
Hate Samar…She’s annoying to men & women alike.
Hate Emeril!!! Hate Emeril!!!
Love Abbas… He’s charming (Is he married??)… Next time I’m in Egypt I’m going to eat @ some of the places he showed us.
Love Giorgio Locatelli… His food is sooo appealing & u can tell he loves it.
Sugar rush is a real rush.
I look forward to more content as it is getting repetitive.
Best of luck to all of you,

I am an American living in Israel/Palestine. I love your channel but I wish there would be a program in English showing how to cook Arabic food. I’m returning to the states for the summer but look forward to more Farafeat when I come back in August.
congratulations of a wonderful channel with a large variety of programs. my family and i love to watch it, but we find the writing strip running at the bottom of the screen very annoying and distracting. maybe there is another way of communicating with the viewers.
This is the best channel ever.!! omg like very nice entertaiments
THANK YOU
im so delighted,finally i found the channel im longing for..im a housewife who really need and enjoy this kind of stuff,keep up the goodwork and all the best for fatafeat..thank you guys!!!!

اتمنى لقناة فتافيت الاستمرارية على ما تقدمه لمشاهديها من اجمل ما يكون من الاكلات الشهيةوخاصة بشهر رمضان المبارك اعاده الله على الجميع بالخير والبركة والسلام عبير يموت من لبنان
I like the fatafeat channel very much. it gives the viewer a vast range of cooking shows. If I would be comapring with the BBC food, Fatafeat is getting to be like foodtv.com. It has more variety of programs,ie, you just added duvall show, HGTV, excellent and many more are coming. This is good for us in Middleast area to open up and see how the west is sharing their creative and renovative ideas. Thank you for making it easy for us to get renovating ideas this speed.
I should comment about Samar’s program, she has to decide whether to speak in English or arabic. she looks like she has some shares in this channel and is implimenting her wishes, also, the other young girl, a new program, watching her with red long nails cutting the vegetables, and wondering in Maroc, this does not impress the viewer, should be carefull, kids and adults are watching, they might think cooking with long nails is the way!! (where is hygene??)
but, all in all, the program is good.
Hello, Firstly I must say that I absolutely LOVE this channel. I live in Australia and on my last visit/holiday to Egypt I almost didn’t leave the house because I wanted to keep watching!!!!
I run an Arabic/Middle Eastern inspired catering and cooking school in Australia (www.themaxskitchen.com.au)and I love the Fatafeat concept.
How can I get fatafeat in Australia??
نشكر قناة فتافيت على برامجها المتنوعة والرائعة
والى الامام دوماً

Thank you for this wonderful channel!! It would be great to have Enlish subtitles for the Arabic programmes please. There is the most delicious Arabic dishes we would like to try, but no English translation.
I have already learnt a lot from the chefs and I must say my cooking and baking have improved thanks to you all at Fatafeat.
Kind Regards

me and my sister watch fatafeat when we go and visit my dad in libya, it is my favourite channel! i think it would be good if you put english subtitles on the arabic program it would help us learn arabic.
thank you and congratulations on the brillant channel,
