Al Jadeed
Al Jadeed (Arabic: الجديد, romanized: al-Jadīd, lit. 'the new', English: New TV) is an independent Lebanese TV station. Based in Beirut, it is one of the leading TV channels in Lebanon. It was launched in 1992 and closed in 1997 due to Syrian intervention, and then relaunched in 2001 during a luxurious celebration attended by prominent figures. Al Jadeed today is considered one of the 3 leading TV channels in Lebanon (all 3 of which are the only mainstream channels in Lebanon not owned by the government or any political parties, regardless of political affiliation).
