Al Mayadeen (Arabic: المَيادِين, romanized: al-Mayādīn, lit. 'The Plazas') is a Lebanese pan-Arabist satellite news television channel based in the city of Beirut.[3][4][5][6][7][8] Launched on 11 June 2012, it has news reporters in most of the Arab countries.[3] In the pan-Arabist television news market, it competes against Qatar-owned Al Jazeera and Saudi-owned Al Arabiya, and also against Sky News Arabia and BBC News Arabic.[9][10] At the time it was founded, most of the channel's senior staff were former correspondents and editors of Al Jazeera.[11]
Al Mayadeen has widely been categorized as pro-Hezbollah, pro-Bashar al-Assad and Iran-aligned.[3][5][6][7][12]
