On 10 May 2015, Al-Masirah, along with other anti-Saudi channels, were closed on Nile Sat & Euro Sat [7] several times [8] due to Saudi pressure on the satellite companies, which made Al-Masirah broadcast its signal instead on the Russian satellite Express AM44.

After the Houthi takeover in Yemen, Al-Masirah lost a number of employees due to conflict.
