(MENAFN) Qatar’s Al Jazeera director general, Sheikh Ahmed bin Jassim Al Thani, stated that the media giant will introduce a news channel in the UK, reported Arabian Business.
Sheikh Ahmed added that Al Jazeera also plans to launch a French-language channel, in order to link people and countries with different cultures.
The director general noted that the UK channel will broadcast for 5 hours during prime time as a cut-in UK content aired on the media firm’s English channel.
