"MOSUL, Iraq – The official opening of TV Mosul on July 2 marked the first step on the road to free press for northern Iraq, according to officials with the 22nd Mobile Public Affairs Detachment.

The mayor of Mosul, Gahnim al-Basso, and U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Jeffrey J. Schloesser, the 101st Airborne Division, Air Assault, assistant division commander for support, came to express their support for the regional television station. Al-Basso cut the streamer at the entrance of the facility to begin the festivities."

"Mosul TV is crucial to the division since it serves as direct communication for more than 100 kilometers outside the city limits of the province informing listeners about the contributions of local coalition forces. The 22nd Detachment created the Arabic-language program Iraqi Freedom News and with the help of the 40th Public Affairs Detachment, Fort Campbell, Ky., ensures it airs at least four times a week"

not sure about this though..
