Marina FM or Marina Radio or Marina Station is the first private radio station in Kuwait at a frequency of 90.4 FM, located at Marina Mall. Marina FM delivered a new concept for presenting radio programs in a distinctive way unlike the common form that is used in Arabic radio shows.

Etymology

The name Marina basically comes from Marina Mall where the radio station is located, Marina Mall is considered one of the entertainment shopping centers in the State of Kuwait. In spite of the fact that Marina is not an originally Arabic word, it became a slang and it's locally used on a daily basis.

Studio design

The studio is considered to be the first of its own in the Middle East, The studio is located on the second floor of the mall, with a view to the ground floor where it's easy to see the mall visitors which creates a unique atmosphere compared to the closed studios. It was designed in a modern style equipped with the newest radio techniques in addition to video cameras distributed around the studio to deliver it all on MarinaTV.
