Speaking about the new venture, Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor, Founding Chairman of Al Habtoor Group, said: “The resilience and spirit of the Lebanese are truly inspiring. We aim to harness this energy to spread hope, happiness, and positivity through our new channel. Our commitment is not only to establish a channel but also to foster a thriving media environment for professionals.”
He continued: “This venture is more than just broadcasting. We are dedicated to empowering the local workforce and contributing positively to Lebanon’s economic revival.”
The initiative has garnered favourable feedback and endorsement from the Lebanese government, ensuring a seamless licensing process and a hospitable environment for this transformative endeavour.
