UAE launches satellite TV station to support Lebanon
The Dubai-based media group Al Aquariya said it was launching a new satellite TV channel called ‘With you, Lebanon’ as a sign of support for the war-ravaged country. It was due transmitting at 0500 GMT August 13, the exact time that a UN-agreed ceasefire is due to come into effect. Al Aquarya, whose director general Mohammed Saleh is Lebanese, said the new venture would support the reconstruction of Lebanon. The group already has a satellite channel specializing in property. The group said the new channel would cover reconstruction, humanitarian projects ‘and the return of refugees to their homes’. It said it also hoped to encourage Arab and international investment in rebuilding the country. (AFP, Middle East Times,August 16, 2006)
