Here is an overview of the newly added and dropped FAST channels in MENA in October:
STARZ ON continues its steady trend, adding four channels: a mix of a single IP from an Indian actor, an Indian sitcom, and sports channels.
Roya TV has also added a new channel focused on sports.
Shahid has introduced a new premium channel featuring a popular talent show with contestants showcasing a variety of talents, such as singing, break-dancing, comedy, magic, and rapping. Can you guess which show I’m referring to?
