Al Aan TV is free-to-air at Arabsat and Nilesat,[1] 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.[2] 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.[2]
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.[3][4]
Al Aan TV was the only TV station in the world to film and report [5] the funeral of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi after his death in the 2011 Libyan civil war.[6][7]
