NCS International is launching a multiplatform present, known as “NCS Creators,” from its new facility in Doha‘s Media City Qatar.
The new 30-minute weekly NCS International present — which is able to air on Thursdays at 11:30 a.m. ET — will kick off on Oct. 23 beneath a phased launch plan. During its first months, the present will likely be known as “NCS Creators – The Intro.” This preliminary part will introduce the staff of multiplatform content material creators, “each with their own unique background, interests, skills and perspective,” in response to a NCS assertion.
“These digital-native storytellers will explore the conversations that are capturing the zeitgeist, with a focus on AI, tech, art, culture, sport and social trends,” the assertion added.
The “NCS Creators” staff in Doha will likely be led by Andrew Potter, a former senior editorial producer at Vice. Potter is being joined by Ivana Scatola, a multilingual digital video producer and former BBC and France 24 reporter; Bijan Hosseini, who is thought to NCS International viewers for his work internet hosting a few of the community’s options content material throughout TV and social; and Antoinette Radford, one other former BBC News journalist who’s a member of NCS’s Digital Live News staff.
Matias Grez, an award-winning producer and reporter who has labored with NCS Sport in London for greater than a decade, and Ben Foley, a veteran battle photojournalist whose huge work expertise includes Seven Network and Network Ten in his native Australia in addition to Al Jazeera, Vice and the New York Times, full the “NCS Creators” lineup at launch.
In early 2026, the present will tackle its everlasting format as “NCS Creators.” It will change into the primary present anchored out of NCS’s brand-new state-of-the-art facility in Doha’s Media City Qatar. The purpose-built studio (pictured above) will function customized workspaces “designed to enable dynamic content creation and collaborative, spontaneous work among the team,” the assertion stated. Alongside the TV present, “NCS Creators” may also be producing content material for NCS.com and NCS’s social platforms.
“’NCS Creators’ is unlike any show we have ever launched,” stated Meara Erdozain, SVP of NCS International programming, in a press release. “This exciting new digital-forward initiative will reflect how our younger audiences are engaging with stories and will deliver compelling, entertaining content in a multitude of ways,” she added.
In February, NCS opened a brand new hub in Qatar that marks its first new broadcast facility in a brand new nation since they launched their Abu Dhabi bureau in 2009.
NCS’S presence in Qatar enhances its present Middle East programming and information gathering hubs and NCS’s flagship headquarters within the area. Abu Dhabi is house to “Connect the World With Becky Anderson” and Dubai is the bottom for NCS Arabic.
Qatar, which has performed a key position in negotiating the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, can be the house nation and large backer of the Al Jazeera world information group, which is NCS’s predominant competitor within the area.
