Pan-Arab news off air hours after launch
Programming at a pan-Arab news channel owned by Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal is unavailable, hours after its first transmission from Bahrain.
The satellite feed of Alarab News Channel shows only promotional material, and an Alarab executive declined to comment.
The channel says on its Twitter account that broadcasting has “stopped for technical and administrative reasons and that it will be back soon.”
The head of media at Bahrain’s information ministry, Yusuf Mohammed, says “cooperation with Alarab’s administration is ongoing, in order to resume its broadcasts and complete necessary measures as soon as possible.”
