ISIS is starting its own TV channel
As if ISIS needed another outlet for its extremist propaganda, Vocativ has discovered that the terrorist group is planning to launch its own TV channel.
Vocativ's deep-web reporting on ISIS forums found a "teaser" for the new channel, which will only broadcast propaganda videos. The channel, officially named "The Islamic Caliphate Broadcast," will be broadcast 24/7 live at KhilafaLive.info.
The channel will feature a video series by British ISIS captive John Cantlie, as well as a recruitment show for new jihadis. ISIS already has a propaganda broadcast radio station in Mosul, Iraq.
