According to The National, plans to launch the Arabic-language station based in Abu Dhabi, Sky News Arabia, are still on despite the phone hacking scandal in the UK rocking Rupert Murdoch's News Corp empire.
Sky News Arabia is a 50/50 joint venture with BSkyB and the Abu Dhabi Media Investment Corporation (Admic). Both organisations remain committed to the launch," Sky News Arabia said in a statement. News Corp already owns a 39% stake in BSkyB. But last week it abandoned a $12.6bn bid for full control of the company.
