Established in 1983, the channel produces programmes focusing on cultural, political, and economic issues aimed at expatriates living in Saudi Arabia. Following its conversion to a 24-hour channel it expanded its broadcasting to Europe and North America in the middle of 2007 and now employs a large network of news correspondents based in the Middle East, the United Kingdom and the United States.[1]

Despite being the only English-language public channel for Saudi Arabian expatriates, the Minister of Culture and Information Dr. Awwad Bin Saleh Al-Awwad has suspended the channel's transmission in December 2017 as part of a plan to suit the Saudi Vision 2030.[2]

gollark: Yes, I know, and it's not any particular errors, just that I have to muck with error types and `?` and `map_err` everywhere.
gollark: I don't really care about "perfect", I just want "basically works and is mostly correct".
gollark: Rust's is elegant and all, but I find it irritating to work with.
gollark: I actually really like Lua error handling.
