For over a decade, Eutelsat and MBC GROUP have worked closely to ensure the reliable delivery of high-quality broadcast services.

Eutelsat  has announced the renewal of its long-standing partnership with MBC GROUP,  the largest media network in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).

Under this extended agreement, MBC GROUP will continue to rely on Eutelsat’s 7/8° West video neighbourhood, the region’s leading orbital position, for the distribution of its diverse portfolio of premium entertainment, news, and cultural channels to millions of households across MENA. Reaching 95% of satellite homes across the region, the 7/8° West video neighbourhood offers exceptional coverage and signal quality.

For over a decade, Eutelsat and MBC GROUP have worked closely to ensure the reliable delivery of high-quality broadcast services. This renewed partnership reaffirms the enduring strength of their collaboration and underscores the strategic importance of the 7/8° West position, home to the largest concentration of free-to-air (FTA) and pay-TV channels in the region.

“We are proud to continue our strong partnership with MBC GROUP. This renewal reflects the trust they place in Eutelsat’s capabilities to deliver reliable satellite broadcasting services over 7/8° West, enabling MBC to reach audiences with premium content across the region.”

Raymond Estphan Rahme, RVP MENA Sales, Eutelsat’s Video Business Unit

“Our renewed partnership with Eutelsat reflects MBC GROUP’s continued commitment to delivering world-class entertainment and news to audiences across the Middle East and North Africa. The 7/8° West position remains central to our broadcast strategy, ensuring the highest quality and reliability for millions of households who trust MBC every day.”
