"MBC gets to the heart of family life in the Middle East with credible news and quality entertainment programs, reflecting the values, needs and aspirations of our viewers. MBC is therefore the most effective Pan Arab medium to link our advertisers with their consumers."
MBC TV
Established in 1991, MBC TV has pioneered the media revolution in the Middle East. MBC TV is an accurate representation of the Arabic culture in all its forms and shapes. Our objective is to fulfil people’s interests and desires by offering them high quality and exclusive programs.
Programs
"Viewers feel that MBC has dramatically improved its programming
over the last two years. Now it has more and better programs in
the areas of entertainment, sports, films and drama. This is in
addition to programs aimed specifically at women and youth".
MBC is as ever committed to delivering the best in TV entertainment.
One of the main appealing programs this year is "Who Wants
To Be A Millionaire?"–a global brand which has taken the entire
region by storm and captured the attention of many viewers. This
has repeatedly and consistently reinforced the company’s commitment
to producing programs that are by far the most diverse, interesting
and unique in the region. The sustainable success of "Pops
& Tops" in the Middle East is also evidence of our competitive
advantage.
MBC constantly brings to its children viewers new and exciting
global brands, including the wide range of Disney’s special cartoons.
"MBC News retains its position as the Middle East’s most credible
and trusted source of news. It is regarded as number one provider
of Gulf, national and sports news."
MBC is also dedicated to bringing its audiences the latest and
most informative news from around the world the moment it happens.
Our stimulating current affairs programs also discuss and debate
in-depth hot issues drawn from current events.
MBC’s professional and quality coverage approach of worldwide sports
events, such as the World Cup and the Olympics, highlights our commitment
to sports. Our main focus however remains on the major sports tournaments
and competitions throughout the Middle East and the Gulf regions.
"MBC is effectively targeting the young and female/housewife
audiences through programs whose content and style match their needs
and interests."
MBC is equally renowned for its wide range of quality Arabic and
Western films/series. Furthermore, MBC’s acquisition of global brands,
such as the Warner Brothers movies, emphasizes MBC’s greater advantage
over the pay per view and other subscription based operators in
the region.
Audiences
The secret of MBC’s program success derives from our special and
genuine relationship with our audiences and advertisers. Our audiences
are our main assets, for whom we plan and develop overwhelming programs.
We cater for their needs to develop specific programs.
MBC’s Arabic viewers have one thing in common. They represent the
different and diverse aspects and values of the Arabic family, wherever
it is in the world. Consequently, we have preserved and strengthened
the well-established bond between our programs, audiences and advertisers.
"MBC FM has made the link with listeners, especially the youth
market, in Saudi Arabia, the Gulf countries and Jordan by combining
local content with the style, pace and interactivity of international
FM radio. This makes MBC FM the most intimate and flexible medium
to complement your MBC TV advertising plan."
Launched on 1 June 1994, MBC FM has established itself as the first
commercial radio station to cover the entire Arabic world and beyond,
transmitted twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, all year
long. MBC FM complements MBC TV and is equally committed to enhancing
its services to achieve the same objective of delivering high quality
entertainment and news.
Programs
In addition to being and remaining the first and only commercial
FM station covering the KSA, MBC FM pioneered the introduction and
promotion of Arabic music, songs and artists in a dynamic way, thus
capturing a previously neglected market. MBC FM is, as
ever, devoted
to creating a variety of extremely stimulating and entertaining
programs, which target the different socio-economic groups in the
region. Additionally, the station has developed programs such as"Variety" and "Your Beauty" specifically geared
towards housewives and women. On the other hand, programs such as
"Horouf Moshakisa" reflect the excitingly entertaining
culture of MBC FM, while "Keef Al Sehha" reassures its
commitment to education and counselling.
