As part of the deal, OSN will continue to bring Disney Channel, Disney XD and Disney Junior to the region as well as key ABC News programming.

For subscribers, this means they will continue to get access to first pay-TV windows of some of the finest and most imaginative family films, award-winning series and world-class kids entertainment.
“Audiences in the Mena region are more discerning now than ever before. Their unprecedented exposure to the world’s finest programming calls for upping the standards in television content delivery. Our partnership with The Walt Disney Company Mena, for home, On-Demand and online entertainment further defines our position as the number one premium content provider in the region.”
OSN will premiere over 40 feature films this year alone, including hit movies Wreck–it Ralph, Oz: The Great and Powerful, popular movie franchises such as Marvel’s Iron Man 3, Thor 2, Disney-Pixar’s Monsters University, Brave, and Planes from Disney Studios.
