Al Jadeed TV (“The New”) is one of Lebanon’s leading television channels, known for its independent journalism, investigative reporting, and wide range of programming. The channel is widely seen as a strong voice for press freedom and transparency in the Arab world.
The station began as New TV in 1992, with a secular and independent orientation. After being shut down by the Lebanese government in 1997, it was re-licensed in 2001 and relaunched as Al Jadeed TV, based in Beirut and managed by the Khayat family.
Al Jadeed places a strong focus on news and investigative programs, especially those exposing corruption and misconduct within state institutions. Alongside political and talk shows, the channel also airs drama series, entertainment, sports, and cultural content, appealing to a broad audience.
With a large domestic viewership and an international audience reached through satellite, OTT platforms, and online streaming, Al Jadeed maintains its position as a fully Lebanese-owned broadcaster committed to independence, accountability, and public-interest journalism.
