MTV Makes a Comeback
MTV network would appear on the screen after more than seven years of interruption by a court order issued during Syrian hegemony over Lebanon.
Veteran TV journalist Walid Abboud would head MTV”s news department.
Abboud, who has resigned his current post with LBC, told Naharnet MTV would appear on the air soon, making a comeback after it was closed by a court order on Sept.4, 2002.
The verdict that ordered MTV closure was described by opponents of Syria”s dominance as "politically motivated."
Abboud said he would also have his own talk show on MTV screen in addition to managing the news department.
MTV managers would hold a press conference next week to declare the network”s comeback plans, according to Abboud.
