Not everything goes on the bulletin. We watch the feed so you do not have to, and we only bring what is worth your time.
About the Network
The cure, on the record.
A nightly news show for the Egyptian internet. The voice note that was too long, the friend who left you on seen, the cultural debate everyone had an opinion on. With a straight face. Every night.
The Founding Story
One idea. One day.
The idea was simple: what if we made a news show for TikTok and called it TNN? That same day, Omar designed the news bar in Figma and filmed the first episode.
It went out on 8 March 2026. No studio. No crew. Just a camera and a straight face. The lead story was Malak’s curfew.
Before TNN was a network, it was a tool. wholana.com is the tool behind TNN. It shows posts from the 2,000 most popular TikTok creators in Egypt in one dashboard. Omar can sort and filter them by likes, comments, shares, views, and date. This helps TNN follow trends in a clear, methodical way instead of just scrolling manually. The show is built with software, not guesswork.
Today, TNN Egypt runs five nightly desks — The Nightly, The Debates, Field Reports, TNN Stocks, and On the Record — staffed by correspondents Marwan, Hadil, and Emy, with co-anchors including Mariam, Wafiq Wael, and Ziad Medhat appearing across debates and interviews. The Tribunal reads the funniest viewer comments back on air with full broadcast gravitas.

The Mandate
The cure, nightly.
The Egyptian internet generates world-historical events at a pace no single person can reasonably witness. TNN filters that noise into a concise, professional broadcast. It saves you hours and hands you the social currency to stay in the loop at any group chat, in any room.
If you’re a brand, a bureau, a ministry, or a comment section that would like to reach the desk, we read every inbox. Tips, corrections, and polite cease-and-desist letters are all routed to a human.
