Demanding the closure of Jordan TV means demanding the destruction of a part of our national archive and national memory, of which Jordan TV forms an important material and moral part.
Moreover, demanding the closure of Jordan TV means firing the coup de grâce at one of Jordan's most important ambassadors, whom Arabs and non-Arabs came to know through watching Jordan TV, especially through the dramatic works it produced and broadcasted, which spread our Jordanian dialect across all Arab countries. Jordan TV did this, and still does, even though dramatic production is not a primary role for television stations; as is well known, all these stations rely on what private production companies produce in the fields of drama, documentaries, and even regular programs.
Additionally, demanding the closure of Jordan TV constitutes a flagrant assault on the memory of every single Jordanian, and on their political, cultural, and economic reservoir, indeed on their entire cognitive reservoir; for Jordan TV has been, and remains, a source of this cognitive reservoir.
Furthermore, demanding the closure of Jordan TV means depriving many countries in the region of benefiting from the Jordanian cadres working at Jordan TV, which has qualified and trained generations of Jordanian media competencies that have carried on their shoulders the task of advancing many media institutions in the East and the West.
