OSN, the region’s major pay-TV network, now offers a portfolio of over 40 Arabic subtitled international channels.
With over 20 subtitled movie channels, eight TV series channels, 12 factual and lifestyle channels and two channels fully dubbed into Arabic, OSN now claims to have the largest lineup of dual-language options for viewers across the region.
The newest addition to OSN’s portfolio of dubbed channels is Investigation Discovery (ID), which brings real life dramas to life through the eyes of experts, witnesses and family members featuring investigations and mysteries that will challenge the viewers’ understanding of culture, society and the human condition. From July 1, OSN viewers can watch ID in English or dubbed in Arabic.
Emad Morcos, SVP business development and digital, OSN, said: “Our research shows high demand for localized content and we are committed to offering exceptional television experiences to our subscribers. Providing popular television channels with Arabic dubbing and easy-to-follow subtitles has a key role, as it enables viewers to follow their favorite channel without losing the essence of the content.”
James Gibbons, SVP emerging business, Discovery Networks CEEMEA, said: “Investigation Discovery is one of our most popular channels globally and has proven just as successful with our Middle Eastern viewers, who have been captivated by its stories of mystery and suspense. We are pleased to be working together with OSN to offer our local audiences the chance to enjoy ID’s gripping and engaging content in dual languages for the first time.”
