Wafd Party President al-Sayyed al-Badawi has announced that the test broadcast of the party’s first satellite channel is scheduled for 25 March.
“The Egyptian law prohibits political parties from satellite broadcasting,” he said. “That’s why we formed a company abroad to broadcast from outside Egypt.”
“The channel aims to promote political awareness among the Egyptian people, urge them to participate in politics, and address issues of national interest.
“We went satellite because channels talk to millions, while newspapers are only read by thousands,” he said.
