Programming
Typical programming for the channel included footage of insurgent snipers killing American soldiers in Iraq, and video of Improvised Explosive Device attacks on coalition military vehicles. In many cases, these videos appear with patriotic or anti-US songs in the background, with the network asking viewers to comment on these videos by E-mail.
Other programmes have included commentaries against the US-led operation in Iraq, and, for a short time, news bulletins read by presenters wearing Baath Party army fatigues.
The station was also known to show Hidden Camera Jihad, a video compilation of insurgent attacks on US forces with slapstick-style soundtrack and video effects.
The programmes were in Arabic, with occasional English subtitles.

Famous quotes containing the word programming:
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
