Following continued interferences to its satellite transmissions, Al Jazeera has announced a new frequency for Arabsat viewers: 11334V.
Al Jazeera has faced a series of satellite interference events over the past twelve months. These sustained interferences have been an attempt to disrupt the Network’s broadcasts across the Middle East and North Africa.
“We would like to inform our viewers of the new satellite frequency on Arabsat,” said Saeed Bawazir, Director of Technology at Al Jazeera Network. “Over the last few months, Al Jazeera has faced sustained interference to our satellite transmissions. These occurrences will only strengthen our commitment to continue providing our award-winning coverage across the region 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We urge our viewers on Arabsat to tune to this new frequency for uninterrupted coverage.”
In February 2011, Al Jazeera’s satellite services were jammed and an attempt was made to disrupt our services. Al Jazeera responded by launching its channels across various satellites, allowing viewers to receive continuous coverage.
