Mtv Lebanon HD has just started the New Year by broadcasting on the Arabsat Badr-4 satellite at 26 degrees East, expanding its viewing reach from MENA to Europe. In addition, the new musical channel One TV has also started broadcasting over satellite for the first time and only on Arabsat Badr-6. Mtv Lebanon and Arabsat have signed a long-term exclusivity agreement for both channels to start in 2018.
Arabsat CEO Khalid Balkheyour said Mtv Lebanon is the pioneer channel in addressing self-regulation and a clear code of ethics since the creation of the channel in 1991. He said since then, Mtv Lebanon has noticeably invested in delivering premium entertainment content to the region, a strategy that matches Arabsat's aspirations.
