Sony Pictures Television Arabia has unveiled its plans to remake popular American game showsin Arabic. The Production company will produce 30 minute episodes of "Wheel of Fortune" for Egyptian broadcaster Al Hayat, and produce one hour episodes of "Jeopardy" for the Dubai based MBC group.

Rapid TV News reports that five on-air female presenters at Al Jazeera have resigned after filing a complaint against "repeated offensive public remarks" by an official from Al Jazeera about "clothes and decency." An investigation committee has been formed to look into the unprecedented resignations, in which it was concluded that Al Jazeera had legal rights over the looks and appearances of its presenters and that the channel was entitled to "set conditions and criteria for its employees' physical aspects in line with the spirit, values and images it wants to disseminate," according to Al Hayat daily.

Distribution of the Al Hayat newspaper in Saudi Arabia was blocked Tuesday for a second day by the kingdom over objections about articles published by the pan-Arab daily. The paper's editor said the government had stopped distribution of the local edition without specifying the content of the offending articles.
