You da man.

Here is a darft message you can send to them. Let's have all the members send them a message like this to encourage them to start transmitting into the USA.

Dear Broadcasting Manager

Greetings from the USA.

The Arab American population in North America is on the increase. Five years ago, there were only about 5 Arabic free to air channels broadcasting to North America. Today, more than 20 TV and 22+ radio FTA channels available on Intelsat America 5 satellite (IA5 - 97W). Your station is not present here yet.

I encourage you to have your channel available FTA over North America. Your high quality programming will be well appreciated within the Arabic and American community at large.

IA5 satellite is a leading source for international programming in America. Over 160 television and radio channels in more than 30 languages representing 40 countries from Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, are delivered via this satellite. Also, AMC4 satellite is a good choice.

If your programming schedule would include some English language or translated programs, you will have a very wide audience in the 10s of millions. That may encourage multinational and regional companies to advertise on your channel, if you so wish.

I hope you will consider entering the American market and start your broadcast to this region soon.

Your Name
