BBC planning Arabic station as counterweight to Al-Jazeera

LONDON (AFP) - The BBC plans to launch an Arabic-language television channel broadcasting to the Middle East in direct competition to Al-Jazeera, a report said.

The plan has been devised by Britain's Foreign Office, which would also help finance the venture, the Financial Times said.

Britain is keen to see the BBC offer an alternative to Doha-based Al-Jazeera and other Arabic stations which have proved popular in the region with an editorial stance that often irritates London and Washington, the paper said.

The new station would be modelled on existing satellite news and features channel BBC World, and while broadcast from London would have staff around the Middle East.

Running costs would be around 28 million pounds (42 million euros, 51 million dollars) per year, the report said.

The British government already supports the BBC's World Service radio network, and a request for additional funding for the Arabic station has been included in a spending request submitted by the Foreign Office to the Treasury, it added.

"This particular proposal is still under discussion and we have asked the World Service to look at various aspects of it before we could come to a final conclusion," a Foreign Office spokeswoman was quoted as telling the paper.

Maybe we should start making some arabic porn sites, less than 3-5% of our traffic have set their browser language to Arabic, however I guess those people are either sitting in the west as refugees with their family stil living in arabic countries, or they are located in those countries (scary)... either way we need more people with arabic relations surfing porn sites, and the world will be better.
Now we just need to have goverments in the west pay the bandwidth, which are generated by Arabic surfers, so we can open the porn gates in the west :yowsa:

Very interesting. News in the Middle East without jewish conspiracy theories. What will they think of next?

it is already hard to find a part of the world that doesn't listen to BBC World Service..so it seems like a natural move.

Yes, and hopefully others will follow. Looking at the price it would cost vs. money used on security, then it is very cheap. Getting 10-50 western stations working in the middle east, would change the information flow, and start dividing peoples view on life... let it be different channels with different themes like news, family, kids, education, science, travel, democracy etc. All things which shows the Arabic viewer that the west is much more, than what they are told by their Islamic leaders.

I think this is a wonderful idea, we need to be competing for minds in the middle east.

However, I have seen some ver biased antiAmerican reporting by the BBC, so maybe they will be the english version off al jazeer anyway.

A decade or so of Arab language American television, interspersed with the usual commercials for jeans, Bud, MikeyD's and fabric softener, and Islam will become another Japanese society and desire to be Western! It's a sensational idea! B)

Fill me in, oh wise one.

Mike,

Educating you or Buff on politics would take an an anti brainwashing specialist.

The BBC has an Ombudsman that reviews any complaint of bias in reporting and acts appropriately.

The BBC throughout the world is known as the most unbiased news.

I saw and read BBC and concluded they put spin on just like every other news program. I think the British PM would agree with me on that one.

We'll agree to disagree then ;-)))
