Quick facts Country, Broadcast area ...

The channel mostly broadcasts Hollywood movies but it also seldom features British, Canadian, French, Indian, Korean, Turkish, Russian, Spanish, Persian, 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.

MBC 2 HD was launched on 1 July 2011.
