The article says there's been a ban on live TV since 2008, but aren't there examples to the contrary? There are video feeds of the Masjid al-Haram and Tarawih prayers in Mecca by state TV, particularly popular during Ramadan. BrotherSulayman (talk) 20:36, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You are right, I have elaborated on that to clarify. SaudiPseudonym (talk) 21:38, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
