The Supreme Council for Media Regulation, headed by Khaled Abdel-Aziz, made an urgent decision against media figure Ahmed Shobier, host of the “Hares Al-Ahly” (Al-Ahly’s Goalkeeper) program on Al-Ahly TV channel, after a complaint was filed against him by the Zamalek Club.
Zamalek previously announced that it had filed a complaint against Shobier due to his repeated slandering of the club.
The Supreme Council for Media Regulation in a Tuesday statement explained that it had approved the findings of the Complaints Committee, headed by media figure Essam al-Amir.
These are to require Ahly TV channel to pay a sum of LE 100,000, and to prevent the broadcast of the “Hares Al-Ahly” program for two weeks, as well as preventing media figure Ahmed Shobier from appearing on the channel in that period.
The statement added that the decision came after investigations conducted by the Complaints Committee were concluded, based on the recommendation of the Sports Media Performance Control Committee headed by Counselor Abdel-Salam Al-Naggar, Chairman of the Committee and Member of the Supreme Council for Media Regulation, as well as the complaints received by the Committee and the results of the Monitoring Department regarding the program.
