Alarab’s HQ
The Bahrain-based Alarab News Channel went live yesterday, broadcasting 24-hours a day across the Middle East and North Africa.
The Arab-language news channel, which is backed by billionaire businessman and member of the Saudi royal family Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, claims it will provide an “objective, fresh and unbiased view of world events.”
Alarab will air news and a range of other programs, including those that will focus on Saudi Arabian affairs. Business news will be delivered through an agreement with Bloomberg.
