Libya

The Libya channel started broadcasting mid-December 2011 from the old Libiyya studios on Nasr Street in central Tripoli.

The channel has been experiencing management difficulties and it is unclear who its current manager is. Until summer 2012, Mohammed Taleb was at the head of the channel and his deputy was Hadi El Gariani. Both worked directly with the Ministry of Culture.

Due to management difficulties, this channel is mostly broadcasting old footage of the revolution.

Incidentally, one of the High Media Council members (nominated by the NTC, not elected a few weeks later in Jadu) registered the channel with the Arab States Broadcasting Union. ^[4]

Frequency: Nilesat 12342 – 27500 H

Benghazi Broadcasting Network

The Benghazi Broadcasting Network, which is slated to include both a TV and a radio, is not yet on air. Its Facebook page claims it is owned by the Benghazi Local Council and will start broadcasting "soon" - but the page has not been updated since June 2012. Its current status is unclear although it appears to still receive funding by the Local Council.

Benghazi TV

Benghazi TV is also funded by the Benghazi Local Council. It appears that while the Benghazi Broadcasting Network project was launched by the first Benghazi Local Council, Benghazi TV is a brainchild of the Local Council elected in May 2012. In April 2013, Benghazi TV was moving into its 500 square meter headquarters - still under construction - and hoped to be on air by the summer. They also plan on launching a radio.

The goal is to build a regional channel covering mostly local issues and highlighting local traditions. They plan on devoting 20% of the channel's airtime to news content - of which 80% will go to local news - and devoting the rest of the time to a wide variety of non-political content such as children's shows and documentaries.

The General Director of the station is Khaled Najem, former deputy Minister of Information in Mahmoud Jibril's Executive Office.
