Barada TV Puts Syria's 'YouTube Revolution' On Air
But that's not the case in Syria, where authorities ensure the revolution won't be televised by banning most international media.
A London-based satellite channel, Barada TV, has stepped in, beaming anti-government programming into Syria — with financial support from the U.S.
'The YouTube Revolution'
In an airless room in a Turkish hotel, Malik Al-Abdeh, the chief editor of Barada TV, produces a two-hour live broadcast.
It's not going well. Guests don't show up. The engineer, who runs the camera, the lights and the connection to London, sweats as he sits in the interviewees' chair.
"I'm not the guest — that's why I'm very stressed at the moment," he says.
