Some time ago I saw a documentary which included an interview with a senior figure of the Al Jazeera satellite network. A table flag of the network was present in his office: blue with the corporate logo in gold.

Al Jazeera Media Network, AJMN, is a Qatari news media organization which
claims to be the first independent news channel in the Arab world since media in
the Arab world, till then, was characterised by state-controlled narratives. It
is a statutory private foundation for public benefit, and is primarily funded by
the government of Qatar. The network's flagship channels include Al Jazeera
Arabic, launched on January 1, 2001, and Al Jazeera English, launched on March
20, 2003, which cover regional and international news, alongside the digital
platform AJ+. Al Jazeera is available in more than 150 countries and
territories. Originally conceived as a satellite TV channel delivering Arabic
news and current affairs, it has since evolved into a multifaceted media network
encompassing various platforms such as online, specialized television channels
in numerous languages, and more.
It was established on November 1, 1996,
following the closure of the first BBC Arabic language television station on
April 21. Hence many of the staff who worked for the original BBC Arabic
Television service were eventually employed by Al Jazeera, now one of BBC Arabic
Television's main competitors.
It's headquarters are located in Doha.
