RapidTVNews reports that a 'political' problem is brewing at LBC. Earlier this year, Samir Geagea, leader of the Lebanese Forces, demanded that Pierre Daher, CEO and founder, surrender ownership of the TV station back to the Lebanese Forces political party. Later in the year Prince Al Waleed Bin Talal, increased his shareholding in the station and now owns 60% of LBC.

Rapid TV News reports that Saudi billionaire Prince Al Waleed bin Talal has increased his ownership stake in pan-Arab satellite channel LBC. Local reports say Prince Al Waleed now controls 85% of the operation and its partner PAC.

AMEInfo reports that a Arab Advisors Group conducted a survey showing that 37.6% and 37.1% of respondents named LBC and Future TV, respectively, as one of five stations Lebanese watched most. As you would expect, news was found to be the most popular program type among all age groups.
The Perfect Brides from LBC’s new reality TV program this week experienced the pride of wearing spectacular diamond wedding sets from DTC’s new Bridal program.
