Information Minister Salah Abdel Maqsoud met with Ismail al-Shishtawy, president of the Radio and Television Union, to discuss the launch of two new state-run channels.
The first would be a channel for children, similar to Spacetoon. The second proposal is a documentary channel similar to Al Jazeera Documentary, which would be sponsored by a major oil company.
The project was first developed by Ali Abdel Rahman, head of the specialized channels department, but he resigned before its implementation.
