The ruling on working in and supervising television channels depends on the content being broadcast. If the work involves broadcasting unlawful matters and these dominate the content, then it is a forbidden act, as it constitutes cooperation in sin. However, if the supervision is dedicated to broadcasting beneficial and permissible programs, there is no objection to it, even if a few forbidden programs are interspersed. Nevertheless, the earnings would be unlawful to the extent of executing those forbidden programs, and it is better to abandon anything that contains a degree of the unlawful.
