Saudi Arabia's Culture and Information Ministry has warned Saudi investors in satellite television stations not to cause offence to their country by allowing material which violates Islamic teachings to be aired, Reuters has reported. 'Every Saudi investor in satellite television channels has to be sensitive to patriotic and social responsibility,' Abdullah al-Jasser, undersecretary for media affairs at the Culture and Information Ministry has said. Saudi Arabia recently shut down some of LBC's offices in the country, following the broadcasting of an interview with a Saudi man speaking about his sexual adventures, citing lack of proper licensing.
