Middle East Broadcasting Networks
The Middle East Broadcasting Networks (MBN) is a non-profit news organization that operates Alhurra Television [1]], Radio Sawa [2] and MBN Digital, broadcasting news to 22 countries in the MENA region.[3] MBN is financed by the U.S. government through a grant from the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), an independent federal agency that serves as a firewall to protect journalists from political influence.[4]
Including MBN, there are four other networks under the USAGM umbrella Voice of America: [2] (VOA), Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty [3], Radio y Television Mart[4], and Radio Free Asia [5]. In 2017, former American diplomat, Ambassador Alberto Fernandez was appointed to head MBN.[5] On November 4, 2018, MBN relaunched and introduced new programming across all platforms. In the restructuring and relaunch of Alhurra TV, the station has increased its newscasts from 4 to 12 hours each day delivered by an all-new lineup of news anchors and news programs, and incorporated live broadcasts from new studios near Washington D.C. and Dubai.[6]
