The Arabian Television Network (ATN) announced today it will partner with MTV Networks International, a unit of Viacom Networks Europe Inc, to launch the highly anticipated MTV Arabiya in 2007. ATN is a subsidiary of the newly launched Arabian Broadcasting Network.

Abdullatif Al Sayegh, CEO, Chairman, Arabian Broadcasting Network said: “Our partnership with MTV is a significant step in our long term strategic vision to offer an international channel dedicated to Arab music and culture. All of us in the team are excited about MTV Arabiya’s forthcoming launch, and look forward to developing additional growth opportunities in the region.”

MTV Arabiya will be a 24-hour, free-to-air television channel catering to an Arabic-speaking youth audience across the Pan-Arab region. Over half the population of the Middle East is under the age of 25, and MTV Arabiya will bring this huge audience high quality entertainment.
Bhavneet Singh, Acting General Manager and Vice President, MTV Emerging Markets said: “MTV first launched in 1981 when cable television was in its infancy. Since then we’ve grown into the world’s largest TV network by becoming part of the fabric of youth culture, and by respecting audience diversity and different cultures. We’re delighted to be launching MTV Arabiya and looking forward to working with our partners to provide the best youth programming.”

The channel’s programming will consist of music videos, music-based programming, general lifestyle and animated programmes, reality shows, comedy and dramatic series, news specials, interviews and documentaries. In addition to the highly popular international MTV shows, MTV Arabiya will also produce local content to cater to Pan-Arab youth audiences.

MTV Arabiya’s launch is planned for the second half of 2007. Further details on this exciting project will be announced in the coming months.

Having such a channel is a great idea, but as usual the sad thing is that you do not have Arabs working, contributing and represented in the work force behind MTV Arabia in the UK and/or overseas.
Tracking a job add or finding one is next to impossible. I just tried to find a job with MTV Arabia worldwide (being an Arabic speaking person in the UK with excellent skills in both languages) but every link failed to connect.
I really hope that you look into the matter and have Arabs working in a fair number from the smallest admin job all the way up. If you need any help with that just let me know.
If you know a trusted working link please forward to me.

I agree with mona. I have been trying to find a way to contact MTV arabia so I can submit my CV and portfolio – I am a graphic designer/illustrator and have a very good grasp on animation and animation programs – such as after effects, flash and director and would love to work with MTV which will enable me to make my creative juices flow.

Any contact or information would be really appreciated.
Thank you.

My friends signed a sponsorship contract with MTV Arabia, as they were seeking underground bands in Egypt. The thing guys, you wont be able contact them, they just find you if you measure up. That's exactly what happened with my friends. Maybe after launching, new channels will open for contact.

Hi MTV.

There is a song I love that is playing on NRJ (99FM) in Lebanon it is called "Leich Heik Baladi" and talks about Lebanon.

Are you going to play the video on your station?

I Keep watching LBC international, Future and all other stations and never saw the clip while I keep hearing it on the radio on 99FM. It is from a Lebanese his name is Ramez and the song is exellent. You can find his Lyrics on the website of my favourite radio station in Lebanon NRJ on this link

To hear my favourite song go on this link :www.myspace.com/ramezlebanon

Thank you for your attention.

PS: I dont have a homepage thats why i have put the one of my favourite artist in Lebanon

Since MTV Arabia will replace MTV European in this region, I hope they'll keep some "classic" MTV shows from their pan-European channel, e.g. Chill Out Zone, Alternative Nation, Party Zone and so on...

Hey Farida

Wanted to let you know that I heard the new song of RAmez on Radio One (105.5FM) I love it. It is called is it too much asking and it talks also about Lebanon. This song is even better than leich heik balade.

I dont know if NRJ are playing it as I stopped listening to that station after hearing britney spears on it :)
