More on Al-Manar
Description from Wikipedia:
Al-Manar (Arabic: المنار; The Beacon) is the satellite television station of Hezbollah, broadcasting from Beirut, Lebanon and offering a "rich menu" of high production news, commentary, and entertainment in the service of what Hezbollah believes is Islamic unity and resistance. The self-proclaimed "Station of the Resistance" (qanat al-muqawama), is a key player in what Hezbollah calls its "psychological warfare against the Zionist enemy," i.e. the state of Israel,
and an integral part of Hezbollah's plan to spread its message to the entire Arab world. ,
Currently, programming is geared towards coverage of the Palestinian cause, and the US coalition's occupation of Iraq, encouraging armed resistance against the US and elimination of "the Zionist entity" (i.e. Israel).
The station was launched by Hezbollah in 1991
with the help of Iranian funds,
by 2004, Al Manar was estimated to hold 10-15 million viewers daily worldwide. Critics argue al-Manar's agenda is strongly influenced by Iran by virtue of the "significant portion" of Hizbollah's budget shortfall that is covered by Iran, via some of the "$100 and $200 million a year" Iran provides to Hezbollah itself. Al-Manar officials strongly deny this, saying they are subsidized by the Hezbollah party and donations from other Muslims, not by Iran.
Al-Manar was designated a "terrorist entity", and banned by the United States in December 2004.
It has also been banned by France, Spain and Germany,
and has run into some service and license problems abroad, making it unavailable in the Netherlands, South America, Canada and Australia while it has not officially been banned in any of these regions.
