TODAY we revealed who’s won Oman’s Next Big Radio Star at a special live final from ID Design at Markhaz Al Bhaja in Seeb. And the winner is… ALIFA KHAN!
Alifa has won her very own weekend show on Merge, and a fabulous new sofa from ID Design!
You can watch the moment last years winner Sharifa announced she will be joining our team here (skip 15 minutes in for the big reveal!)
Alifa told Sharifa she couldn’t believe she had won and can’t wait to get started, bringing a positive message to our airwaves. We can’t wait to hear either!
A big thank you to all our amazing finalists and all their supporters who made Oman’s Next Big Radio Star a huge success!
