What you need to know about TSL+

I launched The Streaming Lab newsletter over 2 years ago. Every Monday, I break down the streaming ecosystem in MENA with a new article. So far, I’ve send out 100+ newsletters and built a community of over 3,500 subscribers.

While writing, I have been creating reports that provide detailed insights into platforms like Shahid, OSN+, STARZ ON and others active in MENA. These reports cover everything from business models and pricing to audience demographics, content offerings, supported devices, and more.

I have also worked as a consultant with many streaming services in the MENA region, from local champions to global giants.

Now, I want to package all this experience and expertise and make it accessible to everyone. That’s why I’m launching the premium subscriptions TSL+.

TSL+ is a monthly subscription that will help you track the streaming ecosystem in MENA, and decode the future of the industry.

Who is TSL+ for?

TSL+ is designed to bring value to the entire ecosystem, both in MENA and beyond, including:

• Local streaming services looking to stay ahead of the competition

• International platforms aiming to expand their reach in MENA.

• Content providers seeking to distribute their content to local streaming platforms.

• Platform providers interested in accessing the region

• Media consultants planning to offer their expertise in the region.

So, what’s included?

1. Weekly insights: my take on the top streaming stories in MENA

   If you are already a subscriber to The Streaming Lab, you are familiar with my Monday articles. For everyone else, here’s access to all my archives.

2. FAST in MENA Series: monthly articles exploring the FAST channels and platforms across MENA

   This successful series will now be behind a paywall, and I’ll be adding even more value with exclusive data and analysis every month. You can check out the previously sent article here.

3. Monthly Reports: Data-packed analysis on key streaming topics in MENA

   Here’s an amazing upgrade: Every month, I'll explore cross-platform topics such as local sports, kids content, SVOD pricing, super aggregation, entertainment superApps, Tech partners, and more.

TSL+ is offered as a monthly subscription at $19. If you choose the yearly plan, the cost is $199.

For group memberships, contact me directly, and we’ll create a custom package for your company.

And if you are a student, a solo entrepreneur, or if the cost is a bit too much, send me a message, we’ll figure something out.

One more thing…

For those looking to get a full understanding of the streaming ecosystem in MENA, I’ve also created an add-on subscription: TSL+ Prime

You'll receive all the TSL+ benefits listed above, plus exclusive access to STREAMING in MENA, my special report featuring data and insights from 30 local streaming services, updated twice a year.

TSL+ Prime is available exclusively as a yearly subscription for $299. Previously, this was the cost of the report alone. Now, you’ll get two updates per year plus all the TSL+ benefits!
