Studio El Fan

Studio El Fan was a Lebanese talent show broadcast on Télé Liban during the 1970s, and early 1980s, and Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation during late 1980's, 1990's and early 2000's in Lebanon and throughout the Arab world. Like the Olympics, the show ran every four years for an entire calendar year. Contestants from all over Lebanon competed. The best contestants in the different singing categories were awarded gold, silver or bronze medals. In 1988, the show was bought by the Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation. In 2009, the show was bought again by Murr Television, and the show is currently airing with a whole new format. Created by Alfred Barakat and Simon Asmar, the show is credited for being the launching platform for many of today's Lebanese and Arab stars, such as Majida El Roumi, Walid Toufic, Ragheb Alama, Diana Haddad, Nawal Al Zoghbi, Elissa, Wael Kfoury, Rami Ayach, Bassem Feghali, Sara Al Hani, Jean-Marie Riachi, Fares Karam, Fadl Shaker, Assi El Hellani, Youssef Cheayto, Suzanne Tamim and many more.
