BBC Arabic (Arabic: بي بي سي عربي) may refer to the Literary Arabic language radio station which was run by the BBC World Service, as well as the BBC's satellite TV channel, and the website that serves as an Literary Arabic language news portal and provides online access to both the TV and radio broadcasts.
The radio service was broadcast from Broadcasting House in London as well as from a BBC Bureau in Cairo. The target audience was in the Arab world (North Africa and Western Asia).
In September 2022, the World Service had announced the proposed closure of its Arabic radio service as part of a cost-cutting plan, but an online service will remain.[1]
On Friday, 27 January 2023, BBC Arabic's radio broadcasts end at 13:00 UTC. The service had been on air since 1938.[2]
