Frishkopf, Michael (ed.), 'The Controversy over Satellite Music Television in Contemporary Egypt', in Michael Frishkopf (ed.), Music and Media in the Arab World (Cairo , 2010; online edn, Cairo Scholarship Online, 14 Sept. 2011), https://doi.org/10.5743/cairo/9789774162930.003.0010, accessed 21 Apr. 2025.
Abstract
Headlines regarding the maliciousness of music video clips became a familiar sight in the Egyptian and Arab press. The source of all the commotion over music television in Egypt is the launching of the Egyptian and Arabic private satellite channels which are devoted to the broadcast of foreign and Arabic language music videos. This chapter contextualizes the gender, class, and moral anxieties articulated by Egyptian critics of the flourishing genre of Arab music videos and satellite music television channels, and demonstrates that the present-day uproar over the Arab music video has a clear genealogy in the history of Egyptian mass-mediated culture.
