Summarized by © Lakhasly.Com Television in Egypt Is Mainly Television in Egypt is mainly received through free satellite, while analog terrestrial represents 41% of total viewers. Egyptians spend a significant amount of time watching television, with 40% of people watching up to 4 hours of television per day.[1] Since Egypt launched its first broadcasts in 1960, state- run channels have held a monopoly on terrestrial broadcast.[2] The Ministry of Information strictly regulated private satellite channels as well.[2] The Egyptian Radio and Television Union, a government entity, owns all 17 terrestrial channels. Channel 1 and Channel 2 are the network’s main channels and broadcast across Egypt. The state-owned Nile TV is the main foreign language channel, aims at promoting Egypt's state point of view and promote tourism. There are 6 regional terrestrial channels, which used to all be broadcast to Greater Cairo, but as of 2007, only Greater Cairo channel (Channel 3) of the regional channels is broadcast to Greater Cairo. Most terrestrial channels were in fact satellite channels owned by ERTU, but simulcasted to Greater Cairo, since 2007. The state's 23 channels are reported to have, as of 2012, "a small and dwindling viewership".[1] There are also many private satellite stations. As of 2002, there used to be only two, Al-Mehwar and Dream, though the government has a financial stake in both channels.[1] Since the 2011 revolution, more channels have launched, including Capital Broadcast Center, Al Nahar and TEN, which have managed to attract significant viewership. Rotana launched Rotana Masriya, a channel broadcasting programs aimed at the Egyptian market.[1] Subscription television penetration is low, estimated to be 9% in 2011, which consists of OSN and Arab Radio and Television Network. OSN was formed in 2009 by merging Orbit and Showtime Arabia. All of which are not owned by Egyptian companies, but by Persian Gulf companies. In the 1990s, there used to be an Egyptian company called CNE (Cable Network of Egypt) which provided a few foreign pay TV stations broadcast terrestrially over the air (CNN International, MTV Europe with one show made for Arab League viewers, and other defunct channels), but needed a special receiver and a card. The overwhelming number of private satellite stations launched during 2008 till 2012 has changed the Egyptian TV production market drastically, lifting the dominant hand of state-run channels off the market. Over 50 TV series[3] have been broadcast annually during Ramadan[4] – Main TV viewership season. Introduction of dubbed TV shows – from Turkey and India mainly- on Egyptian TV channels made the market more competitive.[5] Egyptian TV productions companies started to adapt in efforts to match the foreign offerings which started to dominate the market.[6] Companies like Egyptian Arts Group, Al Adl Group and many others started doubling their annual production budgets in efforts to match the foreign TV series offerings in terms of quality of production.

  • 26-27 Bulkley.Indd
    Lured by youthful demographics and petro-dollars, western media are flocking to the Middle East, reports Kate Bulkley TV prospectors eye up Arabia o you want lots of investment in new TV shows and channels and a host of media companies vying for ad dollars and audiences? Do you want an exciting Dand fast-growing youth market? Where would you go? China, India, Brazil or even Russia? Well, here’s another option – the Middle East. The Middle East is a highly complex and politically sensitive region with no fewer than 35 Arabic regional dialects. But with the rising price of oil, it is awash with petro-dollars and keen to diversify. It also has a burgeoning youth market – a quarter of its population (some 120 million people) is under 25. Little wonder that Viacom has signed a deal with the largest media group in the United Arab Emirates, Arab Media Group (AMG), to launch an Arabic version of MTV in November. MTV is not the only media story being written in the Middle East. In September Warner Bros announced a wide- ranging partnership with local real-estate developer Aldar and the Abu Dhabi Media Company that includes a $500m feature-film production fund. Meanwhile, in early October, Endemol opened a Middle East production office to build on the success of its current hits in the region: Star Academy, Fear Factor and Deal Or No Deal. So why are western TV companies so keen to establish a foothold in this most volatile of regions? “You want to be there at a time when there is a real change happening in the region,” says Mike Morley, senior executive director, commercial and creative affairs at Endemol International.

Under the agreement, OSN will use the Orange Business Services private network to optimize and customize delivery of broadcast services, migrating from multiple legacy networks. Orange will provide analytical and consultancy services and then migrate the OSN networks to a single private network. The new network will ensure greater reliability and quality of the delivery of pay-to-view broadcast services to around five million viewers in homes across the region, whilst the network upgrade will also support OSN’s drive for greater security and protection against piracy. This network consolidation project supports the huge initiative OSN undertook in December 2010 to roll out a new platform with secure access and new state-of-the-art series of satellite receivers, including the OSN SHOWBOX HD, in every subscriber’s home. Bas Wijne, CIO at OSN, said: ”We sometimes need to add a new channel for our subscribers in as little as 48 hours so we needed a technology partner who could offer reliable network coverage, technical excellence and support services through a single point of contact.
