Two Syrian journalists, Ramia Ibrahim and Futoun Abbasi, and two Palestinian journalists Kamal Khalaf and Ahmad Sobh as well as Yemeni Mona Safwan are also among its staff. The staff of the channel include Lebanese journalists such as Sami Kulaib, Ali Hashem, the former Al Jazeera war correspondent, who said he resigned from the channel because it refused to broadcast footage of militants on the Lebanese Syrian borders in the early days of the Syrian uprising, Zahi Wehbe, Lina Zahreddine, Lana Mudawwar, Muhammad Alloush, Ahmad Abu Ali and Dina Zarkat.

Nayef Krayem, the owner of the Lebanon-based Al Ittihad TV and former director of the Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Manar, was designated as the general manager of the channel, but he resigned one month before its launch. Jiddo seemingly accused Al Jazeera of deviating from "professional broadcasting standards", emphasizing that Al Mayadeen would remain objective and unbiased. He resigned from the Qatar-based Al Jazeera in 2011, criticizing its reporting of the Syrian civil war.

He is the former head of Al Jazeera's Iran and Beirut offices and a former talk show host in the channel. Ghassan bin Jiddo is the head of the board of directors and program director of the channel. Besides the headquarters in Beirut, Al Mayadeen has a news network and three regional offices, one in Tunisia, another in Cairo with three reporters and a big studio, and a third in Tehran. The channel is part of Al Mayadeen satellite media network, including a production company, a radio station, a website of Arabic, English and Spanish editions, an advertising company and other media-related projects. Al Mayadeen is viewed as pro- Hezbollah and pro- Syrian government. At its founding in 2012, many of Al Mayadeen's senior staff were former correspondents and editors of Al Jazeera.

In the pan-Arab TV news market, it competes against Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya, and also against Sky News Arabia and BBC Arabic Television. It has news reporters in most Arab countries. Al Mayadeen ( Arabic: الميادين The Plazas) is a pan-Arabist satellite news television channel launched on 11 June 2012 in Beirut, Lebanon.
