The idea of luanching an English language Arab TV channel directed at the West is not feasible, stated Mohammed Al Gergawi at a press conference on the sidelines of the Arab Media Summit, held in Dubai. 

 

According to Al Gergawi, Chairman of the Arab Media Summit Organising Committee, the English speaking Arab station would not be feasible because at present most of the TV stations already up and running are losing a battle against rising costs and overheads, Gulf News reported.
