Saudi Research and Media Group (SRMG), in cooperation with Warner Bros. Discovery, the global leader in media and entertainment, announced the launch of Asharq Discovery, a free-to-view Arabic-language infotainment channel.
Launching the new channel came in response to the increasing demand for high-quality Arabic documentaries, SRMG said in a statement to Tadawul.
Asharq Discovery will feature thousands of hours of premium content from Discovery’s catalogue, as well as hand-picked acquisitions from across the region and an exciting lineup of original productions, the statement added.
Furthermore, the agreement included opportunities for production collaborations with Warner Bros. and HBO to provide unique and factual content about the MENA region.
The launch complements SRMG's efforts to continuously develop and diversify Arabic-language documentaries, underpinned by its successful partnerships with a number of renowned media institutions such as Bloomberg, The Independent, and Billboard Magazine.
The Asharq Discovery channel is the latest addition to Asharq News Television, which comprises Asharq News, Asharq Business, and the recently launched Asharq Documentary.
