(SAT-7). SAT-7 launched SAT-7 PLUS, the Middle East’s first on-demand Christian video streaming service.
Streaming content online and available worldwide in Arabic, Farsi, and Turkish, the new platform enables SAT-7 to bring the life-changing message of the Gospel to a wider audience in the region, including a growing younger demographic engaging via mobile devices.
The SAT-7 PLUS platform, which functions similarly to popular secular streaming services, is available on web browsers and as an app for all mobile devices.
Besides access to new programs added daily and a back catalogue of relevant programming, viewers can watch the channels live via the platform. They can also use SAT-7 PLUS to communicate directly with the channel audience relations staff via messaging.
While satellite broadcasts remain SAT-7’s primary platform, as satellite television is very popular in the Middle East and North Africa and can reach audiences without an Internet connection, the launch of SAT-7 PLUS is an important step in building God’s kingdom in the region and an investment for the future.
“We are pushing forward to attract Generation Z and beyond, who are more attached to their phones than television,” says Rita El-Mounayer, SAT-7’s CEO. As many as 30 per cent of youth in the region already choose to watch television through on-demand streaming.
