The Launch of Syria TV2: Al-Thania

The Syria Television Network, a division of The New Arab’s parent company Fadaat Media, has expanded its media presence with the debut of Syria TV2, affectionately known as Al-Thania, which commenced broadcasting on the first day of Ramadan 2025.

Enhancing Viewer Experience

With a commitment to enriching the viewing experience, Al-Thania will showcase a diverse array of entertainment, cultural, and heritage programs, along with engaging drama productions and timely news updates. The network has articulated its mission to uphold Syrian values and cultural identity while adapting to the evolving interests of its audience.

Aiming for Broader Appeal

Targeting both Syrian and Arab viewers, Al-Thania aspires to establish itself as a leading media platform by delivering high-quality, family-friendly content that mirrors Syria’s ongoing historical and social changes. The channel’s vision emphasizes its dedication to providing programming that resonates with viewers and reinforces national identity.

Adapting to Change

Hamza Al-Mustafa, General Director of the network, highlighted the necessity for media outlets to evolve alongside Syria’s shifting landscape. While the Syria Television Network remains committed to its established political content, Al-Thania will broaden its appeal through a mix of entertainment and educational programming.

The Role of Media in Society

“Media carries a profound responsibility in fostering social cohesion, preserving cultural heritage, and strengthening national identity,” Al-Mustafa remarked. “With Al-Thania, we are dedicated to producing meaningful content that honors both our audience and our homeland.”
