Viewing cable 06BRASILIA593, NO BRAZILIAN BROADCASTS OF AL-MANAR

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #06BRASILIA593.

SUBJECT: NO BRAZILIAN BROADCASTS OF AL-MANAR 
 
REF: A) STATE 44261  B) BRASILIA 0049 
 
Classified by Charge d'Affaires Patrick Linehan, reasons 1.4 (b) 
and (d). 
 
1. (S) Post delivered Ref A, paragraph 3 talking points to the 
Maria Luiza Lopes da Silva, the Foreign Ministry Deputy 
Coordinator for the Combat Against Illicit Transnational 
Activities, in a March 22 conversation.  Silva had no 
substantive response. 
 
2. (S) Alberto Milgewitz of the local Jewish community media 
monitoring organization "De Olho na Midia", told Emboff March 22 
that his organization is certain that Al-Manar television is not 
broadcast by any cable companies or open broadcasters in Brazil. 
 Post's own review of the published programming listings for 
cable companies in Sao Paulo and Foz de Iguacu did not turn up 
any listings for Al-Manar.  ORA conducted a parallel check on 
Al-Manar broadcasts, which also proved negative. 
 
3. (S) On the separate question of whether Amazonas satellite 
carries Al-Manar or Al-Nour, Leonardo Cubica, the marketing 
manager at the Rio de Janeiro office of Hispamar satellite 
company, a Brazilian joint venture with Spain's Hispasat, 
asserted to Emboff March 22 that neither his company's satellite 
(Amazonas-1) nor those belong to its Spanish parent, Hispasat, 
transmit Al-Manar TV or Al-Nour radio. 
 
4. (S) Comment: At this time, it appears that Brazilian 
television and cable networks do not re-broadcast the Al-Manar 
signal, even if they have access to it.
