Rotana Media Group

Rotana Media Group, commonly known as Rotana (Arabic: روتانا, romanizedRōtānā), is a Saudi Arabian entertainment company. It is primarily owned by Saudi prince Al Waleed bin Talal through Kingdom Holding Company.[citation needed]

The media conglomerate includes a film production company (Rotana Studios), free to air television stations (Rotana TV), music channels (Rotana Radio), a record label (Rotana Music Group) and others businesses.[citation needed]

Rotana was founded by Ibrahim Nagro and his brothers, with a 50% share to the Saudi business man Saleeh Kameel.[citation needed]

In 2003, Al Waleed increased his stake to 100 percent, after initially acquiring a 48 percent stake in 2002. He developed Rotana Music Channel as a 24-hour free-to-air service for Rotana artists. This was followed by Rotana 2, Rotana Clip, augmented with SMS, and Rotana 3 for classical Arab music, followed by a movie channel.

Rotana Records is a record label with over 100 signed artists.[better source needed]

Rotana is a series of radio stations belonging to Rotana Group. Rotana Radio broadcasts in a number of Arab countries and plays almost exclusively music released by Rotana Records.[citation needed]
