It was launched in 1992 and closed in 1997 due to Syrian intervention, and then relaunched in 2001 during a luxurious celebration attended by prominent figures.
Al Jadeed today is considered one of the 3 leading TV channels in Lebanon (all 3 of which are the only mainstream channels in Lebanon not owned by the government or any political parties, regardless of political affiliation).
