So it’s not a Catholic network? So our Arabic brethren are receiving false doctrine?

Sounds apostolic, it mentions Holy Communion, and I don’t know of any Protestant sects that call it that and capitalize it.

Information on the network:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAT-7
In sum, it is multi-denominational, funded by all the Christian groups in the Middle-East (which would mean largely Catholic and Orthodox, probably with a little bit of Protestant representation), and avoids criticism or conflict between any churches trying to present a united front.

Well, that’s good. Especially if the Protestantism is kept in the background.Information on the network:

I am not sure that is possible, given that it is funded primarily (if not entirely) by Protestant organizations.Well, that’s good. Especially if the Protestantism is kept in the background.
However, its statement of ethos indicates that the service attempts to be respectful of all Christians
SAT-7 avoids criticism of other churches, or ethnic or religious groups.
SAT-7 programming seeks to reflect all Christian beliefs and practices.
SAT-7 seeks to show the unity in Christianity, with all its diversity.
sat7.org/en/sat7/ethosSAT-7 seeks to help different denominations better understand one another.
Devising such programs does present challenges. Here is what the FAQ on the SAT 7 website has to say on the matter
How does SAT-7 handle sensitive topics such as doctrinal differences?
sat7.org/en/faqThe Nicene Creed and the Lausanne Covenant guide the theology of SAT-7. SAT-7 is inclusive of the major denominations of the region and regularly seeks their (name removed by moderator)ut. But on some topics, differences between major groups remain. SAT-7’s Board determines how to handle, or even whether or not to broadcast, such topics. For example, in some churches, there are “sacraments” (e.g. the Lord’s Supper) that can only be administered by ordained clergy, so such parts of a church service need to be treated with sensitivity But, SAT-7 can more easily broadcast other parts of a church service, in a way that reflects the rich diversity of approaches taken by different churches, and can also make programs in which the theological differences between churches are discussed, helping the different denominations better understand each other.
Still, the current International Board of Directors does have Catholic and Orthodox representation, and I guess it provides oversight.
