Télé Liban
Télé Liban broadcast a large number of American programs, miniseries and films in the early eighties, such as "Dallas", "Dynasty", "Fame", "Falcon Crest", "Flamingo Road", "The Love Boat", "Happy Days", "Solid Gold", and "Roots". Télé Liban would remain the only TV station in Lebanon until 1985 when the Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation, began broadcasting programs, albeit without a license and thus illegally. LBCI ended Télé Liban's monopoly and quickly became Lebanon's most watched channel due to its advanced technology, innovative programming and coverage of the news.
