Turned out yesterday’s series was part of an advertising campaign for Alfa Telecom to promote the “Ehkineh” service. Someone from Alfa’s advertising agency e-mailed me the below video later last night and revealed that they were behind the idea and executing it.
In total, 6 shows were crashed on several radio stations during the day, and in this video you can listen to 3 of them that were recorded.
Do you hear any morning radio show on your way to work? Well I do, and I usually move from one channel to another (a bad habit I know!) to check on what announcers have to say every day, other than promoting the Acai Boost and Via Ananas pills!
Anyway, something weird happened today when some person crashed the morning show on Nostalgie! I was listening to the Nostalgie girl talking when a woman apparently entered the studio and used her microphone to tell her husband she is pregnant with twins!
And it doesn’t stop here, I told a colleague about it few minutes ago and she said the same thing happened on RLL!!
Any idea what is that all about?
Update:
One of the readers claimed she heard a similar thing on Saw El-Mada. So we got 3 similar cases? I smell something fishy, especially given what Ibrahim wrote also! (Check the comments below).
Update 2:
Yara (check comments below) just sent me this voice clips she recorded by chance (for god knows why!) on Sawt el Mada’s radio station where the presenter’s housekeeper interrupts her morning show because she ran out of water. LOL, hilarious thing!

I heard another person crashing another show!!! This one was hilarious, I was returning back home and listening to NRJ, a woman called Steve Peters and started yelling at him asking for “Abou Toni”, Steve sounded quite puzzled and kept telling her it’s a radio station! At the end she told him he’s wasting her units, so answered that she could have used the “ehkine” service!
I’m sure now it’s an organized thing, and I think I know who’s behind it… will keep you updated it was kind of a viral campaign by Alfa Telecom!
