History and editorial policy
[edit] | This section needs more citations. (February 2022) |
Roya TV was launched on January 1, 2011, as part of a broader expansion of private media in Jordan. The channel's stated mandate was to target families and youth, promote democracy, reach out to remote areas of the country, and create awareness on human rights and feminism in the Arab world.[3][4][5]
Roya TV is strongly anti-Zionist and, unlike the Jordanian government, does not recognize the legitimacy of Israel. In written pieces, the network often puts Israel's name in quotation marks, or refers to the entire country as "occupied Palestine".[6][7]
Like the Jordanian government, Roya TV is also strongly anti-Khomeinist and anti-Islamist but unlike the Jordanian government, it does not recognize the legitimacy of the government of Iran and is pro-Iranian opposition. In written pieces about Iran, the network often puts the government's name as the "Iranian regime".[8][9][10][11][12][13]
Programming
[edit]Roya TV's general programming consists of four periods: morning, mid-day, afternoon, and evening; with a greater part of the content based on live shows.[14] In 2012, Deema Hijjawi joined the Roya TV channel, to present a morning cookery program Dunya Ya Dunya.[15]
