ONE TV: Ongoing Entertainment

This past weekend while zapping through satellite channels, we found an ad on Dubai TV about a new TV channel called One TV. The ad was really cool that it got me doing a channel search right away.

So, it turns out, starting from December 24th, Dubai’s once boring CH33 was shut down and replaced by this new channel bearing a new name, a new look and a new line-up of the best in American and British programming.

Branded “One TV”, the station is aimed at modern Arabs who enjoy western-style programming, as well as English speaking expatriates.

Blockbuster movies dominate prime time with television’s most popular series, sitcoms, reality shows and kid’s programs rounding up the rest of the grid to offer a unique variety of choices for all tastes and ages.

We’re already hooked on this channel and it’s great programming. I’m truly enjoying the movies and the sitcoms. They’ve already pushed back my bedtime an hour or so already.

Something else worth mentioning is that the movies are censored, so no nudity or sex on the screen. I think even french kisses are cut out. And even though it’s a bit annoying, especially when you’ve already seen the movie before, I think they totally have the right to do this so that it can be a true Arabic family entertainment channel.

For more information on the channel and it’s programming, visit their really cool website: One TV.

  3. ONE TV is AMAZING! I love it! and well, tastes vary, but I loved ONE TV more than Channel 2 🙂
    The problem is I love ONE TV too much that I don’t want to waste anything they put, which makes it so hard for me to turn off TV and go to sleep 😛

  5. Well we think it would be really great if you could continue to show ‘BOLD & BEAUTIFUL’ soap, becos we have been ardent fans of this prog. for over 20 yrs or more and we feel we have been robbed off one of our fav. prog. I hope ONE TV will consider in starting the above mentioned prog. soon on this channel. Your reply will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks

  7. it seems it is gonna be good copetetor to mbc2… but i was wondering of the channel logo..
    it is ((((`one )))) where the Apostrophe came from ???? what does it indicate???

    cheers

  8. HATS OFF TO U ONE TV. ITS A BILLION TIMES BETTER THAN CH33 BUT WUD BE TRILLION TIMES BETTER IF YOU COULD BRING BACK THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL.
    KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

  12. it’s a good channel but i’m really pissed of cutting The Bold and the Beautiful suddenly like this, it isn’t a nice thing to do and i would like you to bring it back and inform us please.

  15. Well they’ve been putting these ads on with characters from “The Bold And The Beautiful”, asking people if they remember them.

    So I’m guessing they just might put it back on air soon.

  16. PLEASE ADVISE WHEN THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL IS COMING BACK? WHEN IT WAS BEING AIRED, THIS PROGRAMME WAS SELECTED TO HAVE THE MOST ADVERTISING INSERTS? THE REASON BEING IT WAS THE MOST POPULAR PROGRAMME CHANNEL 33 EVER SHOWED, AND WOULD SHOW GOOD WILL TOWARDS THE LOYAL VIEWERS OF ALL AGE GROUPS AND NATIONALITIES. IT MAKES GOOD MARKETING SENSE APART FROM ANYTHING ELSE TO BRING IT BACK. THANK YOU.

  21. what about mbc4?i dont know any thibg about it?how can i foun it in my sat? thank you for one,,,,,,,,,tv,that is so good and wonderful.i love it.

  24. Thanks for bringning back our fav… soaps BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL AND YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS, but isnt it sad that you have to telecast the two drams at the odd timings 9 am and the repeat telecast at 4 30 pm, hey comon dnt you know that majority of the people out here are working, and we are all out of home during this timings, the only people at home i guess are mostly the housemaids and baby sitters. Pls be considerate enough to atlest telecast the repeat programme at a late hour, even after 11- 12 pm, i guess thats the time most of the working ladies have some free time to sit and watch their fav…. programmes after a long day at work. Iam sure most of the women out there will agree with this suggestion.

  26. Whats up with onetv, dont they understand the meaning of “TO BE CONTINUED” or for that matter a series should follow with the flow of the series, viewers wait to watch their favourite programes and ALAS the channel, have chosen to show a episode that does not relate to the prevoius episode eg: the epoisode of Summervile aired on 26th May 2005 was supposed to be continued, and then again Friends 27th May 2005, its sad that you cant pay attention to such simple facts. I am sure channel 33 was doing a better job.

  27. We all in Sharjah are very uhappy because you have changed the timing of Bold & The Beautiful and the Young & The Restless programmes to an earlier time. We all all working people in the uAE and would be very thankful to you if you will consider and bring the timing to a later time in the night afer 10.00 pm or to the same time as it was earlier. 4.30 to 5.30 all are at work and only the kids are at home. This program is not for the kids, so please try to change time timing!!!!!!!!!!!

  28. Why ONEtv repeats the Gilmore Girls?,I am its fan and it is very sad when I can’t see the new parts because of repeatition.

  30. I wanted to thank one Tv for bringing back the Bold and Beautiful.but the show time is awful 14:00! we all are at work.could they manage to screen it same time as before? 18:00 is perferct

  32. I have been going thru all the enquiries abt the Bold & Beautiful show and the timing issues. I am at present doing a research to find out fan fare for Ronn Moss (Ridge Forester)in Dubai / UAE. As you all know Ronn is a great artist, a great singer. He had conducted his concerts worldwide. We are looking forward to conduct a Ronn Moss event in Dubai soon. Your feedback will be highly appreciated.
