[11] In 1962, Riad Sharara prepared his first radio competition programs, Zero or Twenty (صفر أو عشرين)[12] and Think and Win (فكر واربح)[13] which lasted 12 years.

Then he worked as a reporter for BBC Radio until he agreed to Jean Khoury’s offer and turned to political news on “Lebanon TV”.

This incident was enough for the management to know that Riad's place is on talk shows and variety, the most famous of which is the dubbed Japanese competition program Al-Hisn (Takeshi's Castle)[15] that was broadcast in the 80's and 90's on Arab channels.

[9] Riad Sharara's activity was not limited to radio and television, as he took over the editor-in-chief of "Telecinema (تليسنما)", the publication of which stopped during the Lebanese civil war.

[17] He released poetic albums in which he mixed melody and word with his own voice, including Al-Sayida Habibati, Aasheq Bel Wilada, Aashiq Hata Al Shahada and Ala Dafater Aynayha.
