I think Qatar would be a great place to apply especially if you already have previous work experience.
For Broadcast Journalism and all the points you mentioned you might as well apply to Al-Jazeera Network.

I agree that Qatar offers the best working conditions for journalists, in the terms of payment, work environment, and above all it has already got the attention of the region and beyond.

Each country has its own broadcast style or pattern, from which you can learn completely different things. Each media outfit can give you substantial learning experience if you want to.  To be choosy on which outfit to join may limit your opportunity to acquire a broader learning experience.

The best country in the Middle East to start a career in broadcast journalism depends on your goals, language proficiency, and the type of journalism you want to pursue. However, some countries stand out for their media environments, opportunities, and regional influence: 1. United Arab Emirates (UAE) Dubai and Abu Dhabi are media hubs, hosting numerous international news agencies like CNN, BBC, Sky News Arabia, and Al Arabiya. The UAE is home to several large media zones, such as Dubai Media City and twofour54 in Abu Dhabi, which attract global talent and offer a variety of media jobs. The country is known for its relative press freedom within the region, advanced infrastructure, and multicultural environment. Language: English and Arabic are widely used in the media. 2. Qatar Doha is home to Al Jazeera, one of the most globally recognized news networks, making it an attractive destination for journalists. Al Jazeera's influence extends globally, and it offers various career paths for broadcast journalists. Qatar's media environment is focused on international reporting, making it ideal for those looking to cover global news from a Middle Eastern perspective. Language: English and Arabic, depending on the network. 3. Saudi Arabia The Saudi government is heavily investing in the media sector as part of its Vision 2030 initiative. The country is focusing on modernizing its media landscape and becoming a regional media hub. MBC Group, headquartered in Riyadh, is a major media conglomerate in the Middle East and offers numerous opportunities. Although media is still state-regulated, there is increasing space for local and international broadcasters. Language: Mostly Arabic, but there are English-language channels as well. 4. Lebanon Beirut has traditionally been a media hub in the Arab world, known for its vibrant press and broadcasting scene, including LBCI, MTV Lebanon, and Future TV. Despite political challenges, Lebanon remains one of the more open media environments in the Middle East, with a diversity of opinions and relatively less government control over media content. Language: Arabic and French, with some English media presence. 5. Egypt Cairo is one of the oldest and most influential media hubs in the Arab world, with a long tradition of broadcasting through networks like Nile TV International and ON TV. Egypt offers diverse opportunities in television, radio, and online platforms, though the media landscape is subject to government oversight. Language: Arabic, with some English-language networks. Conclusion UAE and Qatar are often considered the best countries in the Middle East for starting a career in broadcast journalism due to their international media presence, growing media industries, and relative openness to global news. If you're looking for broader cultural diversity and more international opportunities, Dubai or Doha would be top choices.

Its NOT just about, which country in the Middle East offers the best broadcast media infrastructure.

You have to look at: media regulations, freedom of speech 

1) Media regulations,

2) Freedom of Press

3) Regulations on Citizen Journalism

4) Influx of talent and stories (counting them as one)

 

Based on that, Doha, Dubai and Cairo take the lead.

 

There is at least one media conglomerate operating in each of these cities that offers a great framework for broadcasting with great media mechanisms in place.

 

Any views on my answer?
