Arabic children’s channel Majid TV has launched a new website and app allowing access to TV clips, music, games and issues of Majid magazine to online users around the world.
The website and app feature sections for video viewing, reading, learning more about Majid’s characters and games, while plans are underway to introduce a news section, events calendar and an interactive zone allowing users to give feedback to help shape future development.
Majid TV was launched in September 2015 by Majid Entertainment, a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Media, and is aimed at children aged two to 16 years-old.
HE Mohamed Ebraheem Al Mahmood, Chairman and Managing Director of Abu Dhabi Media, said: “This represents a significant step forward for Majid Entertainment, but more importantly we know it’s something that children will enjoy while their parents can be safe in the knowledge that they can trust the fun edutainment content being viewed.
“The launch of Majid TV has been a fantastic success and allows us to reach millions of households in the region. However, the launch of the website and the app, which will also link into our videos on YouTube, means Majid Entertainment will have a global reach, 24 hours a day.
“We expect this to be particularly good news to Arab families living outside the MENA region who find it hard to find trusted sources of content that help entertain their children in Arabic and we will continue to develop all of our digital platforms to do just that.
“Making our content informative has always been one of the key drivers at Majid therefore its fantastic to be launching these tools during such a worthwhile initiative as the year of reading in the UAE.”
The free app is available for android and iOS and can be downloaded from the App Store and Play Store.
