[hide]History[edit]
Peace TV was launched on Arabsat on satellite BADR-3 in October 2006.
As of September 2012, Peace TV is available on satellite Galaxy 19, 24/7, in English, Urdu and Bengali languages. As of September 2007, Peace TV is available in the United States and Canada and in the UK on BSkyB.
It is also available Over-The-Air (OTA) in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Houston, Dallas, Miami, Atlanta and Seattle.
It is also available free of charge from the LiveStation satellite television computer application.[8]
The channel received £1.25 million in 2009 from the Islamic Research Foundation International, a registered charity owned by Zakir Naik.[1]
In 2011 the UK broadcasting regulator Ofcom investigated the channel for allegations of broadcasting extremist messages. Its programmes have labelled Jews as enemies of Islam and that the 9/11 terrorist attacks were an inside job.[1]
In 2012, Ofcom ruled the channel broke broadcasting rules which states offensive comments should be justified by the context. It was ruled on the following statements which were broadcast on 8 March 2012 on the Dare to Ask programme:[9]
In response, PeaceTV said they were just repeating the teachings of the Quran.[9] The channel has been operating in India since 2006, but as of 2009 failed to register with India's Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, making it illegal. Hathway stopped broadcasting the channel.[citation needed] Zakir Naik denies owning the station, and claims it is run by a Dubai-based company.[10] Peace TV was banned in India in 2012, because the government said it was broadcasting malicious anti-Indian content.[11][12] Zakir Naik has denied any links to such claims and hopes that the ban would be lifted.[13]
Awards and nominations[edit]
In January 2013, Peace TV was nominated for the Responsible Media of the Year award at the British Muslim Awards.[14]
