About channel Orient News

Orient News (in Arabic تلفزيون أورينت) is a Syrian media group owned by Syrian businessman, journalist and opposition figure Ghassan Aboud, based in Dubai, providing news service to the Middle East with a focus on Syria.

Orient Media Network started with Orient News TV. After a study, it was evident that there were no specialized satellite channels specified for the Syrian viewer. Private non-Syrian channels typically used dialects of Arabic not used in Syrian society, which varies socially and culturally. The owner of the group, Ghassan Aboud launched media projects for television, film and radio production, which were eventually broadcast in several countries: Orient Vision for educational broadcasts, the Orient Net website and Orient radio.

Plans for launching of a channel were disclosed by Abboud end of 2007, and test broadcasts started by May 2008 with logo of the station and music from Fairuz. Official broadcasts and programming started on 2 February 2009. Programming is a mixture of Syrian and international news, political, cultural, social and sports programs and television series, comedies, reality shows and long feature films. The station was broadcasting through Damascus when Syrian Internal Security Forces raided the station on July 27, 2010, stopping its broadcasts and putting pressure on station employees to leave their jobs. Ghassan Abboud moved the operations where he resumed broadcasting. Signals of the broadcasts can be received on both Nilesat and Arabsat and online through the website of the station.

Orient News TV, based in UAE, and broadcasts to Syria, Jordan, Oman, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates.

Orient News TV aims to address Syrian viewers in specific and the Arab world in general, with cultural and entertainment programming as well as information and news.

Orient TV opened in Damascus in February 2009, employing 149 Syrians. However, the government soon had doubts about having granted a license to Orient TV, and in July 2009 Syrian security forces raided Orient TV's offices. As a consequence, Orient TV moved to Dubai. The station began broadcasting outside of Syria with coverage of the first civil courts established in Idlib province.

The station presents a series of varied programs, including news, cultural, political, social, and children's programs.
