Gamal Mubarak
The channel has received various criticisms on a wide variety of issues. Former President Hosni Mubarak's sons, Alaa Mubarak and Gamal Mubarak criticized the channel for provoking its audience. There were also criticisms against the channel's highly political programs, and this triggered advertisers to depart from the channel claiming that the audience wishes to be exposed to a variety of programs that are not strictly political. Some have also argued that the channel employs youth members who participated in Egypt's revolution but who do not have the appropriate skills to work in a television channel.
