The signal of a Saudi-based television network was jammed while airing the show of Egypt’s top satirist, the broadcaster’s spokesman said Saturday, the latest disruption to hit the popular program.
Bassem Youssef, often compared to U.S. comedian Jon Stewart, has stirred controversy and sometimes faced legal challenges over his skewering of Egyptian politicians and media personalities. MBC Masr’s signal was jammed while broadcasting Friday.
Spokesman Mazen Hayek said it was not possible to identify who was behind the jamming or where exactly it emanated from.
