MBC4

In response to the launch and success of One TV, the guys at MBC have redefined their Channel 2 as the first free 24h/24 movie channel and launched MBC4 to group a bunch of imported sitcoms, soap operas, talk shows and news shows.

By doing this they’ve made both channels more interesting to watch. And aside One TV they’ve made leaving the couch in front of the TV a harder task to accomplish.

I especially enjoy the variety of sitcoms available now.
And it’s nice when I catch a movie here or there that I haven’t watched already or that I feel like seeing again.

  1. I know exactly how you feel. The problem is that we don’t have enough time to watch all of these good shows:) We are now thinking seriously of canceling our Orbit subscription as after the launch of these channels, having a satellite subscription is useless as we don’t get anything special from it.

  2. Yeah I know what you mean.
    These channels are really going to annoy Orbit, Showtime and the other satellite subscription companies as their offers become less and less relevant.

    These new channels are offering more and more for free, from movies to sitcoms to soap operas and reality tv (One TV, Channel 2, MBC4, Rotana Cinema) to cartoons (MBC3, Space Toon) to music (endless list of channels).

    I think more and more people will start thinking like you and moving away from these bouquets.

  3. Yeah, I strongly agree with Natasha. We also have Orbit but the only thing we ever watch on Orbit is ESPN, other than that, it’s always 2 or 4 due to the fact that they only get Great stuff. Like the movies, yeah, sure, some of them are very old, but they’re all so good I’m willing to watch them a million times… Orbit, on the other hand, gets all these really crap new movies that I can’t even watch once…
    I’m really impressed with the way MBC is handling things.

  4. hors sujet: Where is the “movie roundup” 😉 It’s only available on the rundom page. Is it still not the time to write about the new movies you’ve seen or are they not worth to talk about?

  5. oops, lol…
    I started writing that and only saved it as a draft. I still need to finish it up.

    It seems the rundom home page is showing entries even when they’re still drafts, lol.

    Anyway, I’ll finish it up and post it in a while 🙂

  17. Does anyone know if MBC4 has an oficial website where i can get the program schedule or can anyone tell me what kind of shows they bring early in the morning betweeen 6am & 1pm & if they have sitcoms & soap operas then & what they are or is it all news early in the morning . thanks .

  18. This is to Omar mahoud,MMM and all others who seem to be confused about getting the MBC4.Its very simple.As long as you can scan or rather search for channels with your decoder.All you need do is go to your MENU==>INSTALLATION==>then you’ll scan to search for new channels.NOTE:You might also need to change the frequency so as to get access to other channels.If you do this well you ‘ll end up having far over 200 channels

  19. Omar least i forget.Mbc has always being on Analog satelite.If you need to Know i reside in Dakar sengal and I use an Analog Arabsat.All you need do is try scaning for new channels at least every month.The more you scan the more you get new channels.Isn’t that wonderfull.A friend once told me he scans everyday and he gets at least2 to 3 channels.The only problem is that we dont understand Arab.As you well Know most channels are Arab Owned.

  20. Thanks for MBC4, but please let me have the internet address for mbc4 site. How can I get the scheduels for mbc4.

    Thanks
    Sollie.

    Well i like the free channels mbc2 & mbc4 too however, i had a problem with the censoring fact yet i understand where they come from and in the absence of parental control it may prove to be assuring.
