Since emergence of satellite technology and the internet, religious media in the Middle East have developed extensively. This paper focuses on television and addresses a number of transformative and interrelated aspects: the appearance of new technology; the countries’ gradual liberalization of the economy and the media; the fall of former state monopoly and control of media; and new kinds of instruments to control and influence the media landscape. The liberalization and introduction of new technology have led to the appearance of many more television channels, including religious channels. Consequently, the visibility of religion in the mediated public sphere and the competition between different religious channels have increased. As such, the media landscape is no longer only offering one national, secular, primarily Islamic or Christian public, but many publics where also religious minorities have got a voice and a platform to speak from.
