Al Mayadeen ("The Squares" in Arabic) is a pan-Arabist satellite television channel launched on 11 June 2012 in Lebanon.[1] The channel aims at reducing the influence of the popular Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya networks, both funded by oil-rich Sunni Gulf Arab countries.[1] It also plans to present an alternative to mainstream Arab satellite media, largely dominated by these two channels.[2] All-news Arab TV news channel BBC Arabic and Sky News Arabia are other competitors of the channel.[3]
