ARAB RADIO & TELEVISION NETWORK

The Arab Radio and Television (ART) Network is the leading producer of premium Arabic family programming and entertainment worldwide. ART has a key role to source, produce, and collate, complete entertainment solutions for the AMC groups, (Arab Media Corporation which is perhaps the largest single Arab media holding company globally). The group has extensive access and rights to a premium selection of Arabic content, meaning pay television viewers in all of the ART territories get more value for their money than with any other cultural network.

The company was founded in October 1993 as a private network, with administrative headquarters in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, technical headquarters in Amman, Jordan, and production facilities spanning the entire Middle East. ART began broadcasting five channels to Europe and the Middle East via Arabsat in 1993 from transmission facilities in Fucino, Italy. Since this time the growth of ART has been significant with the acquisition of world class transmission facilities in Avezzano, Italy, and the introduction of further successful commercial and niche television channels.

 

ART produces over 6000 live and recorded shows every year including family oriented dramas, series, plays, sports programs, music videos, and documentaries. The network has the largest Arabic movie library in the Middle East and (as part of the AMC conglomerate) has been associated with leading film production houses in the Arab world for well over 30 years. ART has remained focused on providing the Arab world with a diverse and exciting spectrum of family entertainment while maintaining a commitment to providing quality viewing services and preserving the integral traditional values of Arab culture.
