Al Arabiya (Arabic: العربية al-ʿArabiyyah; "The Arabic One") is a Saudi-owned Pan-Arabist television news channel broadcasted in Arabic. Launched on March 3, 2003, the channel is based in Dubai Media City, United Arab Emirates, and is majority-owned by the Saudi broadcaster Middle East Broadcasting Center (MBC).
A free-to-air channel, Al Arabiya carries news, current affairs, business and financial markets, sports, talk shows, and documentaries. It is rated among the top pan-Arab stations by Middle East audiences. The channel has been criticized for having a "pro-Saudi agenda", and it was once banned in Iraq by the US-installed Governing Council for "incitement to murder" for broadcasting audio tapes of Saddam Hussein
On January 26, 2009, American president Barack Obama gave his first formal interview as president to the television channel.
