The channel reveals that the viewership for the program increased significantly during the third quarter of 2008.

Hosted by Rima Mikdad, the one-hour show airs on Fridays at 11 pm and repeats on Saturdays at 7 am and 1 pm in the UAE. Among the VIPs that have already been hosted are Sultan Al Habtoor, President of Al Habtoor Motors; Salim Sayegh, Chairman of National Paints; Muafak Al Kadah, Chairman of MAG Group Properties Development; Dr. Ahmed Saif Belhasa, Chairman of Belhasa Group; Nashat Sahawneh, Chairman of Al Hamad Construction and Development Company; Jamal Hussam, Managing Director of FIREX; and Mohamed Mosabih Al Neaimi, CEO of Mawared Finance.

"We are extremely satisfied with the steady growth in viewership for Rijalat. This program was included in our lineup as part of our commitment to providing viewers with relevant insights on the Arab business landscape and its major movers. Instead of promoting theories, this show provides real-life stories of how businessmen were able to become successful, as well as the challenges and triumphs they encountered along the way. Rijalat also enables us to honour these people whose exploits have led the nation and the region to higher levels of prosperity. Our viewers can expect similar programs in the future that provide them with valuable lessons on operating within the unique Middle Eastern business environment,"

said Samar Sayegh, CEO of Decision Makers TV.
