When Abdulqadir Sagaar came to Atlanta in 2000, he anxiously waited for each weekend so he could hear the news in Somali. Like many Somalis, he preferred to But he noticed in 2004 that the host of theSomali show left, and that only music was aired in his absence. He knew that people started to turn off the radio, so he contacted Hussien Mohamed to ask if he could be the announcer and reporter. Since then, Sagaar has dedicated not only his weekends to Sagal, but he also spendes 8-9 hours each day to research for the coming weekend. As the only reporter working for the Somali segments, he has to constantly know what is going on in the home countries of Somalis as well as globally.
