All television broadcasts on Nilesat, Egypt’s state-owned satellite broadcasting company, went black on Sunday evening due to a service interruption.
Ali Abdel Rahman, head of the specialized Nile TV channels, told the website of state-run daily Al-Ahram in a telephone interview that the cause of the technical failure is unknown.
Nilesat Managing Director Salah Hamza said the disruption came from outside Egypt.
“Al-Oula and Al-Fadaeya channels were moved to frequency 11219, and the Nile channels will also be broadcast on other frequencies,” he said.
