Closure

"The Saudi offices of a Lebanon-based satellite station controlled by tycoon Prince Alwaleed bin Talal could face closure over a racy talk show featuring a man boasting about his sex life, a newspaper reported on Tuesday. The local operations of the Saudi billionaire’s broadcaster LBC could be shut down because of the “offensive nature” of the program, Abdullah al-Othaim, a senior district judge in Jeddah, told the pan-Arab Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat."
