The government-owned Yemen Satellite Channel includes programs
from
Yemen's two terrestrial channels. Most of their programs are in
Arabic, but include news broadcast in English. Yemen TV also presents
dramas, documentaries, religious shows and a variety of public announcements,
especially about health.
This pan-Arab channel focuses on reaching the Yemeni communities
in Yemen, the Middle East and the rest of the world. The satellite
programming, seen throughout the Middle East, parts of Europe, and
in North America, is dedicated to showing programs that help Yemeni
immigrants abroad to stay in touch with the heritage and culture
of their homeland.
Between 1976 and 1990, television broadcasting in northern Yemen
was the responsibility of the Yemeni Public Corporation for Radio
and Television. A similar organization, the Radio and Television
Authority, was established in the south in 1988. With the unification
of Yemen, these were merged in 1990 to form the Public Corporation
for Radio and Television, which operates under the wing of the Yemen
Ministry of Information.
