Some of the entertainment channels in the Middle East have crossed the red lines, by offering content that directly conflicts with traditional community values and customs.
George Kordahi, Anchor in MBC Group said, there is a competition between the stations and channels because of the entertainment programs. He said, 70% are entertainment programs like celebrity news,music and health in the channels.
Al Kordahi added, entertainment programs are  like infections, and most of TV channels copy these programs from the West like Moment of truth, Star Academy and Arab Got Talent.
 He said, these channels continue to challenge the moral values, social norms and religious beliefs of Arab societies. He added, the channels, the official authorities and the audience  has the responsibility about entertainment programs. For example, the channels should choose the best for their audience and be aware about their values and beliefs. The official authorities, there must be laws to reduce these programs. Also, he said the audience play the key role to choose the best for them and their children, and they should respect themselves and don’t be affected by these programs .
