Al Jazeera Mubasher Misr , was an active news and sister station of Al Jazeera from 2005 to 2014 . It was based in Qatar , broadcast in Arabic and went on the air on December 10, 2005. The station used the concept of its parent station Al Jazeera Mubasher and broadcast events, conferences and parliamentary debates mainly from Egypt without commenting or editing them itself. The station also employed translators who, if necessary, translated the live broadcasts into Arabic for foreign-speaking guests. Mubasher is the Arabic word for live (as it is used in the sense of a live broadcast on television). Misr is the Arabic word for Egypt.

Al Jazeera Mubasher Misr is comparable to the American broadcaster C-SPAN and the German broadcaster Phoenix .

After the overthrow of Mohammed Morsi's government in summer 2013 , the security forces initially closed the station's premises in July. Several employees were arrested. An official ban followed at the end of August by the new government, which was upheld by the court in September. In the course of the demonstrations against the rule of the Muslim Brotherhood, the population also protested against the broadcaster's reporting, which many perceived as manipulative. The channel's live programming continued to be broadcast via the Internet. In December 2014, the canal ceased operations after the parent company announced that the canal would be temporarily shut down until it received the necessary permits again in Cairo in the future.
