Al Arabiya & mbc broadcast deliberately jammed
The broadcast of Al Arabiya and mbc channels on the Nilesat are deliberately being exposed to jamming from unknown sources, which caused a cut in transmission, which continued for hours.
The mbc Group considers that such jamming campaign does not only target the broadcast of its channels, but targets the millions of viewers worldwide.
Al Arabiya news channel believes that the aim of the jamming is to prevent viewers from watching its continual and non-stop coverage of the news from the heated areas in different parts of the Arab world, especially after its successful and unbiased coverage of the revolutions in Tunisia, Egypt and finally Libya.
The following are the alternative frequencies of Al Arabiya and MBC channels on the Nilesat:
