      MBC Group announces Shahid VIP launch in the US and Canada

      Luis Duran, CCO of Shahid.

      ShareTweetPostEmail

      Shahid VIP will be available from November 1 to residents in the US and Canada.

      MBC Group has announced the North American launch of Shahid VIP, its direct-to-consumer streaming service dedicated to Arabic content.

      From November 1, Shahid VIP will bring US and Canadian viewers the world’s largest collection of Arabic content with over 25,000 hours of premium entertainment, including:

      Since MBC Group first launched Shahid VIP across the MENA region in January 2020, the platform has attracted over 1.4m subscribers, while also rolling out in the UK and across Europe.  The North American launch will, for the first time, make a direct-to-consumer Arabic streaming service available to the millions of Arab nationals living in the U.S. and Canada.

      “Shahid VIP’s launch in North America delivers a line-up of top-rated series and movies that will make Arabic speakers feel very much at home,” commented Luis Duran, Chief Commercial Officer at Shahid VIP. “The remarkable international subscriber growth we’ve already seen underscores the quality of Shahid VIP’s content and this will be accelerated by our roll out into the U.S. and Canada.”

      “Shahid VIP brings all the best TV shows, movies and channels from the Middle East and North Africa to the millions of Arabic-speaking viewers living in the U.S. and Canada,” added Ali Jaber, MBC Group TV Director and judge on MBC’s “Arab’s Got Talent”. “For Arabic-speaking fans, having all this programming in one place and available to watch whenever and wherever you want is a great way to stay connected with the region’s entertainment and culture.“

      Shahid VIP will be available, commercial-free, on any compatible device, including Smart TVs, streaming media players, Android, iOS or desktops. Throughout November, Shahid VIP will be free to North American subscribers for the first 30 days, then $8.99 a month or $79.99 a year in the US and $9.99 a month or $89.99 a year in Canada.

      Shahid VIP is part of MBC Group, the largest broadcaster in the Middle East & North Africa, with the region’s most popular channels, viewed by audiences across five continents.
