Popular Egypt satirist breaks with private station

The production company of Egypt's widely popular satire show said Sunday it has decided to leave the private station that took it off the air after it lampooned the military and the recent nationalist fervor gripping the country.

QSoft said in a statement that it failed to convince CBC to resume broadcasting Bassem Youssef's program, and will take legal action against the network over "financial and moral damages." (AP)
