Understanding Tomorrow    (عن كثب)

Broadcast weekly to Millions on the Region's largest Network

Al-Jazeera is the largest television network in the Middle East and – in the eyes of its nearly 30 million viewers – a highly credible news source. Founded as a 24 / 7 Arabic News Channel in 1997 in Qatar, Al-Jazeera was distributed from the start via satellite across the entire Pan-Arab Region. Its “news without borders” became a prime source of unfiltered information for citizens in Arab countries with a censored press.

The channel quickly grew in importance and is today imitated by dozens of competing Arabic stations. Today, Al-Jazeera now operates channels for English-language news, children, live coverage, documentaries, as well as Al-Jazeera Sports which itself is broadcasting on 17 individual program channels.

Understanding Tomorrow (عن كثب), broadcast on the main Arab-language channel, is currently seen by an estimated 30 million viewers throughout the Arab world.

Airtime Dubai Ltd was the first non-Arabic production company to produce original programming for Al-Jazeera News Arabic Channel.

“We are proud of the great trust placed in us by Al-Jazeera”,  reports Airtime CEO Jay Tuck. “We are honored to contribute broadcasting content to this important network.”
