Al Aan or Alaan TV (Arabic: تلفزيون الآن) was a pan-Arab infotainment satellite television station based in Dubai Media City, United Arab Emirates.
History and profile
Al Aan broadcast from Dubai Media City.
Al Aan TV was free-to-air at Arabsat and Nilesat, mobile phones, radio and smartphone applications.
In 2019–2020, Jenan Moussa, a reporter covering the Syrian Civil War for Al Aan TV, published pictures obtained from the phone of Omaima Abdi, a female Islamic State member and the widow of Denis Cuspert. The pictures showed Abdi alongside her husband and holding a gun. She had since returned to Germany and was living freely in Hamburg. As a result of Moussa's reporting, Omaima Abdi was sentenced to three years and six months imprisonment in Germany.
The channel came into the spotlight when it aired a rare video of a woman being stoned to death by Taliban in Orakzai Agency, Pakistan.
Al Aan TV was the only TV station in the world to film and report the funeral of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi after he died in the 2011 Libyan civil war.
Throughout 2025, Al Aan TV gradually scaled down its operations, moving to a fully digital operation. The channel's website announced that Al Aan TV "concluded" its operations as of 29 June 2026.
