Al Jadeed (Arabic: الجديد‎), formerly known as New TV, is a 24-hour PAN Arab station broadcasting from Lebanon offering general-interest programming in the Arabic language.

The launch of Al Jadeed took place on October 4, 2001 in Lebanon and the Arab world. On May 9, 2005, Al Jadeed was launched in America and the Pacific, reaching Arab speaking emigrants in the United States, South America and Australia.

A while after its creation, the station began to treat political issues concerning several debates and "scandals" that occurred in Lebanon. Some sensitive cases involved the relationship between the government of that time and the Saudi Arabian Kingdom. The station was forbidden to broadcast the documentary and was threatened of indefinite closure, both by the Syrian authorities and the Lebanese Government, headed then by Prime Minister Rafik Hariri and President Émile Lahoud. The station owner, Tahsin Khayat, was asked several times in justice following this case and other similar revelations that involved high-ranked officers and important politicians. A direct consequence of this behavior was the initial refusal of the Lebanese and Syrian authorities to grant a working license to an anchorwoman of Sudanese Nationality, as a punishment and a warning.

Walid Eido (Arabic: وليد عيدو‎) (Beirut, 1942 - Beirut, June 13, 2007) was a Lebanese politician and member of the Current for the Future Lebanese political movement and an MP in the Lebanese Parliament. He was also a member of the March 14 Coalition. He was killed on June 13, 2007 by a bomb near the Beirut waterfront, along with his son and two bodyguards and six others.

Eido was born to a Sunni Muslim family in the Bachoura neighborhood of Beirut. He graduated from the Faculty of Law of the Lebanese University in 1966 and became a magistrate a year later. In the late 1990s he was north Lebanon's public prosecutor, from which he was forced to resign in 2000 after being accused of accepting bribes. While on Rafik Hariri's list, a then-unknown Walid Eido was elected as a representative of Beirut's second constituency in 2000 and 2005. He was the head of the Defense Parliamentary Committee and a member of several others.

Eido was married with three sons named Khaled, Zaher and Mazen. Eido was an avid swimmer and the bomb exploded outside his favorite Beirut beach resort, Sporting Club.
