[edit] History
The channel was launched as replacement for Channel 33, in which its broadcast suffered quality programming and considerable viewership, among other things. The channel was shutdown and revamped into its current state, bearing a new name with a brand new programming centered on westernized Arabs who enjoy western-styled entertainment.

Offered programs include Alias, The Bold and the Beautiful, The West Wing, The Amazing Race, Scrubs, Ed, Boston Legal, Smallville, Gilmore Girls, Roswell, Friends, CSI: Miami, CSI: New York, Faking It, Desperate Housewives and Punk'd.
