Yahlive, the UAE-based satellite broadcaster, has announced today the extension of its long-term partnership with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). The new agreement expands BBC Arabic reach to Yahlive's MENA beam targeting the Arabian Maghreb viewers, reaching over 42 million viewers in North Africa from the prime orbital slot of 52.5 degrees east. The BBC will continue broadcasting content on Yahlive's East beam to 62 million viewers.
Commenting on this recent expansion, Ammar Baranbo, COO, Yahlive said: Since inception of Yahlive, the Arabian Maghreb has been a key focus for us. We are thrilled to yet again increase our channel offering, giving our Arabian Maghreb viewers even greater choice of quality content and channels. This partnership is in line with our strategy to bring relevant, most watched content to each of the culturally diverse communities under our coverage .
