The number of free to Air (FTA) satellite channels targeting the Arab region continues to grow. The FTA landscape had a major growth of 542% in the number of FTA satellite channels between January 2004 and March 2012. Based on Arab Advisors Group research, by March 2012, the total number of distinct FTA satellite channels reached 642 channels, an increase of 19.3% over the number of channels recorded in April 2011. The number of the fully launched and operational channels; excluding channels in the test transmission phase, reached 565, up from 501 in April 2011.
This growth and its dynamics will be one of the topics of the 9th Convergence Summit which has Saudi Telecom (STC) as the main sponsor. Motorola, Orange, Qualcomm, Umniah, Zain and Ericsson are also sponsoring the Summit. Over 40 industry leaders and over 500 delegates will discuss and deliberate the dynamics of convergence in the Arab World's TMT markets.
A new report, "Satellite TV in the Arab World 2012" was released to the Arab Advisors Group's Media Strategic Research Service subscribers on April 18, 2012.
"In line with the liberalization of the audio visual sectors in the region, the number of private satellite channels exceeds the number of government owned channels. Around three quarters of the operational FTA satellite channels are privately owned." Ms. Dalia Haddad, Arab Advisors Research Analyst, commented. "In terms of the types of channels, General-Private Sector channels constitute around a fifth of the operational FTA satellite channels followed by the General-Government Sector ". Ms. Haddad added.
"A plurality of FTA channels is headquartered in Egypt which hosts 21.6% of the fully launched and operational FTA channels. Saudi Arabia and the UAE follow with percentages of 14.0% and 13.3%, respectively" Ms. Hind Qweider, Arab Advisors Research Analyst, said.
