The network's political coverage tends to be the most popular;
however, other subjects, such as commentaries, analysis, business and sports also
get a share of the audience. Programs are broadcast for over 200
million Arabic-speaking people around the world, with large
audiences in the Persian Gulf and Mediterranean regions. The satellite channel can be
received in five continents.
Al-Alam has news bureaus in Tehran, Beirut and Baghdad. Unlike many other channels, Al-Alam
can be viewed in Iraq without the
use of a satellite receiver, as it is able to use a terrestrial
transmitter close to the Iran-Iraq border.
An English language website, known as Alalam
News, was launched on August 15, 2006, claiming to
disseminate news in an impartial moderate manner.[1]
Alalam News Network has launched its Persian Website in April, 2007 in
order to cover merely the exclusive Alalam news in Persian
language.
