Abu Dhabi, Mar 15, 2011 (WAM) - Sky News Arabiya, a 24/7 Arabic language news venture between British Sky Broadcasting Group (BSkyB) and Abu Dhabi Media Investment Corp (ADMIC), will launch in the second quarter of 2012, the pair unveiled at a press conference yesterday.
"Ongoing events in the region and world have proved the need to have an Arabic speaking tool that conveys the news with objectivity, clarity," said Sultan Al Jaber, chair of ADMIC. The news channel will be streamed online and available on mobile applications and platforms, Sky's head of news John Riley said.
