For five years until last July, Abdel-Rahman anchored the daily morning show Sabah Dream on Dream TV, commenting on controversial stories in the local media.

On air, Kato accused unnamed political figures of being foreign agents, and Abdel-Rahman asked him to provide evidence for the allegations. According to local media reports, Abdel-Rahman was fired after the episode aired.

That lasted until February when her show was canceled because she refused to amend her contract with Al-Tahrir. The new contractual changes would have prohibited Abdel-Rahman from approaching topics or inviting guests without the consent of the channel management and even prevented her from going to court in case of any legal disputes. In an Egypt Today exclusive, Dina Abdel-Rahman shares her side of the story about the end of her successful talk shows.

After I left Dream TV, I received offers from several satellite channels and even national television. The million pounds was stipulated in the penalty clause in my contract, even though I was fired from Dream TV — the channel later denied I was fired, announcing instead that I refrained from continuing my work.

His plans were to produce the show then to sell it to any channel that wanted it, even if it was Dream TV. At that moment, I felt like I was being pulled into a game with the big tycoons because each one was trying to position me according to his personal agenda.

Although its original founders had no background in TV, they had some positive initiatives that drove me to accept their offer. First, Al-Tahrir was far from the control of influential people. And second, these original founders had a vision of presenting unbiased professional TV content, which was in harmony with my own principles. Many channels that recently opened after the January 25 Revolution, like Al-Tahrir, were sold to or acquired by other owners only a few months after their initial launch.

And when this happens, the policy and political direction of the channel are easily changed. What is your take? Everybody is aware of the major influence that a visual medium like TV has on the Egyptian people in these crucial times. Particularly for businessmen, a TV channel is a very good investment that can be recouped in few years and be used to promote non-TV projects — for example, Bahgat with Goldstar and Dreamland. In my particular case, my contract with Al-Tahrir TV stated that I am the chief editor of my own show, meaning that I had the right to select my topics and guests.

For three months, everything was going smoothly as the team and I had the independence to address daily topics with great credibility, compared to other channels. Then conflicts started to occur among Al-Tahrir TV shareholders, and businessman Soliman Amer appeared on the scene to buy out the majority of their shares.

There was a rumor that Amer was behind some of the original funders, who stood as front men until the time was right for him to make an appearance. Once Amer came on board, the management started to interfere with my show.
