Orient TV Expanding European Reach
February 04, 2016 Television
Orient TV has opened a bureau in Turkey and introduced English and Kurdish news on its website as it seeks to expand its reach and coverage in Europe.
The free-to-air Arabic channel, which marked its seventh year of broadcasting this week, covers Syrian and regional news, as well as politics, business and sport programming.
Orient Net English and Orient Net Kurdish have been introduced to expand the channel’s international audience and bring its news coverage to online viewers around the world.
“We are proud to have built, in the past seven years, a media organisation that has grown from the leading Syrian satellite TV station to a truly regional and now global institution," said Chairman and Founder, Ghassan Aboud.
“We are shaking up the media landscape. Bringing real life human stories to the forefront is what Orient does best. Our correspondents and presenters get to the heart of the story and go where other news and media outlets cannot.”
Based in Dubai and privately owned by the Ghassan Aboud Group, Orient TV has over a dozen correspondents in the field in Syria, with three satellite news gathering trucks providing live coverage of the ongoing conflict.
As well as its new bureau in Istanbul, it also operates news bureaux in Washington D.C., Jordan, France and Germany.
