Sharjah Television started its transmission on 11-2-1989. It was officially inaugurated by H.H. Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammad Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah. Later on 22nd of March 1997, one more channel was introduced to broadcast religious programs in different languages.
For the sake of non-Arab Muslims, His Highness approved setting up of a retransmission facility at the UAE Embassy premise in Nouakchott to facilitate watching Sharjah TV clearly through ordinary antennas by the people of Mauritania.
Concerning the station's programs special consideration is given to local productions because that is the best way to achieve comfort and ease for the society and also it is the only guaranteed way to reveal and reflect the real Arab and Islamic qualities. More than 85% of the programmes are locally produced. Sharjah TV is a regular participant in 'Cairo TV and Radio Festivals' since 1997 and it won many golden, silver and bronze medals and certificates on many occasions. In August 1997 Sharjah Satellite channel was credited with the title 'The Arab cultural channel' by the Higher Committee held in Beirut to discuss the coordination between the Satellite channels.
