Egypt says no to 14 Libya TV channels

Jul 12th, 2011 | By Jonathan Terry | Category: EgyptLibyaMedia News
State-owned Egyptian Nilesat satellite television operator has been ordered by an Egyptian court to take 14 Libyan channels off the air, the country’s state-run MENA news agency reported.
The move on Monday follows a lawsuit by Libyan citizens and Egyptian lawyers who argued the stations owned by the regime of Muammar Gaddafi incite violence and antagaonism against the rebels battling to topple the leader, in power for 42 years.
The stations are off the air until they can find another satellite to beam them.
Libya’s rebels have launched their homegrown satellite TV station in May to counter the regime’s powerful media machine, which depicts the opposition as terrorists and drums up patriotic fervor by beaming images of burning buildings hit by NATO airstrikes.
