Fox Networks Group Middle East has announced the launch of three new entertainment channels - Fox Family Movies HD, Fox Action Movies HD and FX HD - as the company widens its pay-TV operations in the region.
The three channels, which feature family films, action blockbusters and groundbreaking series, will launch in the UAE with eLife, in Qatar with Ooredoo and Mozaic TV, and via Direct-to-Home service across the MENA region on My-HD.
Sanjay Raina, General Manager and Vice-President of FNG Middle East, said: “These sharply defined TV brands fulfill a void that has been identified by our partner affiliates. And they are backed by the high level of content-curation and credibility that FOX branded Pay-TV channels are known for.
“With the launch of these channels we now have the largest and most diverse portfolio of Pay-TV channels amongst our peers. Our presence across all DTH and IPTV platforms gives our brands a reach that is second to none amongst the estimated 4 million and growing Pay TV households in the region.”
Previously called Fox International Channels Middle East, FNG Middle East produces and distributes 13 pay channels in standard and HD: National Geographic Channel, National Geographic Channel HD, Nat Geo Wild, Nat Geo People, STAR World, FOX, STAR Movies, Fox Movies, Fox Family Movies, Fox Action Movies, FX HD, Channel V International, Baby TV; as well as free-to-air channel National Geographic Abu Dhabi.
