The Arab Broadcasting Services network is a broadcasting, media and news provider network that has been operating in the Middle East for over 16 years.[1]

It currently operates around the world in Jordan (the company headquarters is located in the capital city of Amman), Iraq (in both Baghdad and Erbil), the United States (in both New York and Washington), Dubai, Beirut, Cairo and Afghanistan.

History

[edit]

ABS Network was started by Jordanian media entrepreneur Mohammed Al-Ajlouni as a subsidy of his media company, Jordan Multimedia Productions (JMP). Aljouni, a former Middle East Operations' Manager for ABC, formed the broadcasting network to fill a perceived media niche in the Middle East. The network quickly earned the exclusive right to provide Uplink services to Jordan TV.

They've worked together with several major international news organizations, including Al Jazeera, BBC, and Reuters to cover major news stories such as the Gulf War, the Iraq War, and the Arab Spring.

Aljouni also operates news agency Arab 24.[2]
