Abu Dhabi TV is managed by the United Arab Emirates' largest media
group, Emirates
Media Inc. (EMI).
EMI, the largest and most diversified media corporation in the Arab
world, enjoys editorial and administrative independence while somewhat
dependent on government funding through its attachment to the United
Arab Emirates Ministry of Information and Culture.
Launched in 2000, Abu Dhabi TV presents news programs every three
hours. It produces nearly 90% of the programs that it broadcasts,
including political, current affairs, cultural, entertainment, drama,
and documentary features. Abu Dhabi TV is broadcast throughout the
Middle East, North America, Europe, and will soon reach South America,
and Australia.
Abu Dhabi, on the southern coast of the Persian Gulf, is the federal
capital and most populous emirate of the United Arab Emirates.
