For many years, Wahhabi clerics opposed the establishment of a national television service, as they believed it immoral to produce images of humans. The first national television broadcasts began in 1965, and the first broadcast was a recitation of the Quran. The introduction of television offended some Saudis, and one of King Faisal's nephews, Prince Khalid ibn Musa'id ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz, was killed in a police shootout in August 1965 after he led an assault on one of the new television stations. #
