LEWISTON, Maine (AP) — A new Somali-language radio program has begun airing in Lewiston, Maine, home to a Somali-American community.
The Lewiston Sun Journal says "The Somali Show" is the first of its kind in the area to reach out to the Somali, Kenyan and Djibouti population in the area. Fatouma Ahmed, host of the show who was a radio broadcaster in Africa, says the Maine show will include Somali music, news, interviews and news stories from Somalia and other African countries.
Dick Gleason of Gleason Media, which is broadcasting the show, says it will follow a French-language program that airs Sunday morning.
