Barada TV is a London-based Syrian opposition satellite television network.

The State Department refused to comment on this allegation.{{cite news|title=U.S. secretly backed Syrian opposition groups, cables released by WikiLeaks show|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/us-secretly-backed-syrian-opposition-groups-cables-released-by-wikileaks-show/2011/04/14/AF1p9hwD_story.html|newspaper=The Washington Post | first=Craig|last=Whitlock | authorlink = Craig Whitlock |date=18 April 2011| accessdate=18 July 2014}}[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/17/us-syria-opposition_n_850302.html "U.S. Secretly Backed Syrian Opposition Groups, Cables Released By WikiLeaks Show"], Huffington Post.
