== History of Arabic TV ==
 
The first Arabic-language television station, the Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation (LBC), was launched in 1959. In the following years, other Arab countries, such as Egypt, Syria, and Saudi Arabia, established their own TV stations. At first, most programming was imported from other countries, but as Arabic TV became more popular, local production began to take off.
 
The advances in technology in the 1980s allowed for the creation of satellite TV, which revolutionized Arabic TV. Instead of being limited to a specific country, viewers could now watch programs from all over the world, including foreign movies and TV series. The rise of satellite TV led to an explosion of Arabic TV stations, including dedicated news and sports channels.
