Aleppo (Halab) Today (Arabic: قناة حلب اليوم) is a Syrian television news channel. The channel's broadcast features music and images with a news ticker running at the bottom of the screen that provides important updates to the citizens of Aleppo.[1][2] The channel originally broadcast from Aleppo but in 2012 moved its operations outside of Syria to Istanbul, Turkey due to pressure from the Ba'athist regime.[3] The channel broadcasts on Nilesat and online.
Operations

Staff
[edit | edit source]Many of the reporters and editors working for the channel have remained anonymous, but some of the known staff include a former editor Samir Kanjo and his replacement Feras Dibbeh.[3]
Funding
[edit | edit source]According to Dibbeh, the channel's funding comes from anonymous Aleppine businessman.
