Aleppo Today

The channel originally broadcast from Aleppo but in 2012 moved its operations outside of Syria to Istanbul, Turkey due to pressure from the Ba'athist regime. The channel broadcasts on Nilesat and online.

Operations

The channel relies on a network of correspondents in and around Aleppo and a staff that works three shifts to provide 24-hour coverage, focusing particularly on military developments in the area.

Staff

Many of the reporters and editors working for the channel have remained anonymous, but some of the known staff include a former editor Samir Kanjo and his replacement Feras Dibbeh.

Funding

According to Dibbeh, the channel's funding comes from anonymous Aleppine businessman.
