Sorting Through Arabic TV Channels
Dish Network offers Al Arabiya as one of the cornerstones of the Arabic Elite Super Pack. This TV channel was established to compete with al-Jazeera as a main news source for residents in the Middle East. The Dubai-based network presents news programs and shows featuring analysts debating issues facing the region in the 21st century.
The popularity of cricket, soccer and track and field in the Middle East led to the creation of the Dubai Sports Channel. This network is akin to ESPN in terms of the comprehensive, 24-hour coverage given to events throughout the Middle East. The Dubai Sports Channel provides updates, analysis and live events from Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Europe.
The Middle East Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) has several all-purpose stations provided in Dish Network's Arabic TV tiers. The broadcasting company offers soap operas, cartoons and news programs similar to American networks like NBC, CBS and ABC.
The Arabic Elite Super Pack along with Latino and Chinese TV channels are available through All American Dish. This provider of Dish Network services provides international tiers for Chinese, Latino and Middle Eastern subscribers from California to Maine.
