History

The Saudi government began planning the second network in 1979, with the launch expected for the first few months of 1980. The goal was to reserve one channel for informative, cultural and educational programming and the other channel for entertainment. According to the Third Development Plan which oversaw the creation of the new channel, the new service would concentrate its efforts on "cultural programs, current events and features about national development, and public information campaigns", with the existing channel concentrating on entertainment and public information, with an "appropriate mix of programs" for both. The launch of the channel was delayed following the events of the Grand Mosque seizure of 1979, leading to its launch in August 1983, three years after it was initially planned. The new goal was to target foreigners working in Saudi Arabia. The channel was the first in Saudi Arabia to carry commercial advertising in 1986, though in Arabic instead of English, the dominant language of the service.
