Turner, a Time Warner company, has announced significant programming highlights from its 2017 line-up across the different broadcast segments it caters to — including an expanded general entertainment portfolio to add to its rich children’s entertainment and news offering. The line-up was revealed at the company’s annual upfront event, held recently at the Waldorf Astoria, Dubai Palm Jumeirah.
Speaking at the Turner 2016 Upfront, Tarek Mounir, vice president and general manager of Turner for Turkey, Middle East, North Africa, Greece and Cyprus said: “Turner is continually striving to enhance its programming and entertainment offering region wide. Our key objective has always been to provide high-quality entertainment to audiences in the region, and our successful presence across MENA as well as our exciting upcoming slate is great testament to that.”
Attending partners to the Turner 2016 Upfront were given a sneak peek at the content slate for 2017 across its various platforms, including general entertainment, news and children’s entertainment. Details about syndicated shows for 2017 were disclosed at the event.
As part of the general entertainment segment, Turner has a vast offering of channels to choose from — TNT, TBS, TruTV and Adult Swim. Content aired on these channels are available for syndication across the region.
Turner is currently home to four children’s entertainment channels in the region — Cartoon Network, Cartoon Network Arabic, Cartoon Network Hindi and Boomerang. Two exciting, new soon-to-be-announced shows will air on Boomerang in 2017 in addition to classic hits from Warner Bros.
Season three of the hit Arabic animated series, “Mansour” will also be launching on Cartoon Network Arabic in 2017. Additionally, official show merchandise is now available across stores in the GCC.
