He had two children, 4 and 6, with his wife. He had two other children, 17 and 18, from his previous marriage. He launched Bridges TV, billed as the first English-language cable channel targeting Muslims inside the United States, in 2004. At the time, Hassan said he hoped the network would balance negative portrayals of Muslims following the attacks of September 11, 2001. The station's staff is "deeply shocked and saddened by the murder of Aasiya Hassan and the subsequent arrest of Muzzammil Hassan," a statement from Bridges TV said. "Our deepest condolences and prayers go out to the families of the victim," the statement said.
