MBC 2 (Middle East and North Africa)

MBC 2, formerly called Channel 2, is a Saudi state-owned free-to-air movie channel owned by MBC Group.

In its beginnings, it was broadcasting films and TV programs subtitled in Arabic, but after the launch of MBC 4, the channel became specialized in films only.

[1] The channel mostly broadcasts Hollywood movies but it also seldom features British, Canadian, French, Indian, Chinese and other foreign films.

MBC 2 has managed to negotiate long-term deals with the top Hollywood studios, securing first-run right and ensuring a steady flow of the top box-office movies.

The channel largely targets the Arabic audience, especially young adults, having an important popularity among Arab viewers.
