MBC says it has officially moved its Dubai-based Al Arabiya family of news channels to Riyadh in Saudi Arabia.In what the broadcaster described as a defining moment in its history, the move into a purpose-built advanced infrastructure, is a very positive move.According to General Manager Mamdouh AlMuhaini, this move is far more than a geographic shift, it marks a qualitative transformation that positions the network at the centre of the region’s political and economic activity.The success of this strategy has already been demonstrated through the earlier move of its Al Hadath channel (part of the Al Arabiya Network), which experienced significant improvements in both content and reach following its transition.Building on this momentum, Al Arabiya recently launched Al Arabiya Business, a channel focused on economic affairs, particularly the rapidly growing Saudi market. Alongside this, Al Arabiya English continues to deliver regional news to a global English-speaking audience, broadening the network’s international footprint.Al-Hadath TV, for example, is owned by Al Arabiya Network. It operates as a free-to-air news and current affairs channel, functioning as an extension of Al Arabiya. The channel is based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and has a global reach. Al-Hadath primarily focuses on political events in the Arab region.
