I would like to congratulate first for your appointment as new ministry of Information.

As a Yemen expatriate I would like to bring to your notice, we are the most viewers of Yemen TV abroad. We are always like to know more of what is happening back home and learn more about the country.

Unfortunately, we feel the Yemeni TV are not addressing this demand properly. They hardly make one or two programs of which most does not contain any beneficial subjects. The Yemeni expatriates or the Yemeni Viewers in general does not need to view old western movies, Indian, or even Arabic films. There is hundreds of other channels boringly broadcasting such films or movies.

Even the one or two programs broadcasted through the Yemeni TV timing are not well chosen. Most of the Yemenis expatriates are either working or studying and they can hardly catch the timing of such poor produced programs.

I would highly appreciate if you please reconsider the programs the Yemeni TV are broadcasting, and make the proper study if it is well suited for the Yemeni Expatriates and the Yemeni Viewers in general.

Also, I think it will be a good idea if you Website are updated and make available some programs for downloading. I think the Ministry website backdated 2004..

I hope this suggestion will meet your consideration and attention.
