Al Jadeed (Arabic: الجديد‎), formerly known as New TV, is a 24-hour PAN Arab station broadcasting from Lebanon offering general-interest programming in the Arabic language.

The launch of Al Jadeed took place on October 4, 2001 in Lebanon and the Arab world. On May 9, 2005, Al Jadeed was launched in America and the Pacific, reaching Arab speaking emigrants in the United States, South America and Australia.

Political and juridical battles

A while after its creation, the station began to treat political issues concerning several debates and "scandals" that occurred in Lebanon. Some sensitive cases involved the relationship between the government of that time and the Saudi Arabian Kingdom. The station was forbidden to broadcast the documentary and was threatened of indefinite closure, both by the Syrian authorities and the Lebanese Government, headed then by Prime Minister Rafik Hariri and President Émile Lahoud. The station owner, Tahsin Khayat, was asked several times in justice following this case and other similar revelations that involved high-ranked officers and important politicians. A direct consequence of this behavior was the initial refusal of the Lebanese and Syrian authorities to grant a working license to an anchorwoman of Sudanese Nationality, as a punishment and a warning.

Over the years, several alike situations occurred, and Al Jadeed was threatened again of termination.
