Samir Sahli, CEO of Sahli Media Group, added: “Bringing a bouquet of exclusive local channels dedicated to our region’s viewers will not only give them more choice, but will allow other local broadcasters to join, thus creating a Greater Maghreb satellite TV hub.”

Yahlive viewers across the Maghreb region can now access the free-to-air channels, bringing them a wide-range of news, entertainment and lifestyle content. With a line-up of popular home-grown TV entertainment and a variety of local channels including; MasterChef, Showroom TV, Equo-Filahiaa, and many more, viewers can also access premium international channels including BBC Arabic, MBC and Fox Movies.
