Hey streamers,

Today, I’m looking at an (epic) bundle 👇

MBC Shahid - Epic Bundle subscription page

The new offer bringing together Shahid, Disney+, and OSN+.

Let’s start by saying the obvious: bundles are not new in MENA. But for years, the “bundle masters” in the region were telcos.

The reason is simple: direct carrier billing. Telcos already own the monthly relationship with users, which makes adding subscriptions easy and trusted.

What’s different here is who is leading the bundle.

This time, it’s not a telecom provider. It’s 3 streaming platforms.

With its new Epic Bundle, Shahid positions itself as the gateway, bringing premium local and international platforms under one subscription.

To understand what this really means, I tested the bundle end to end: subscription, payment, and activation.
