MBC 2 (Middle East And North Africa)

MBC 2, formerly called Channel 2, is a free-to-air movie channel owned by MBC Group. In its beginnings, it was broadcasting films and TV programs subtitled in Arabic, but after the launch of MBC 4, the channel became specialized in films only.

The channel mostly broadcasts American Hollywood movies but it also seldom features British, Canadian, French, Indian, Chinese and other foreign films. MBC 2 has managed to negotiate long-term deals with the top Hollywood studios, securing first-run right and ensuring a steady flow of the top box-office movies.
The channel largely targets the Arabic audience, especially young adults, having an important popularity among Arab viewers.

On 1 July 2011, MBC 2 HD was launched.
