Official statement on the launch of "MBC Lebanon"

However, MBC spokesman Mazen Al Hayek issued an explanatory statement via his official Twitter account, indicating that the network was planning to launch an integrated multimedia system for the "Arab Mashreq" on the MBC group for years. And does not mean exclusively the launch of a special channel reserved for Lebanon.

Al Hayek said in a statement: "The badysis and expectations of those who are interested in the media in Lebanon are focused on launching the so-called" MBC Lebanon "and on the alleged implications for the sectors media and advertising, it is important that the MBC Group highlights the following:

– The idea of ​​launching an integrated media system for the so-called "Arab Mashreq" has been presented for several years by the MBC Group, but does not consist exclusively in launching a special channel for Lebanon alone. As a result, speculation about the imminent launch of MBC Lebanon is inaccurate and incorrect.

So, the idea of ​​launching a media system for the Arab Mashreq is left to MBC to become a reality, or just an idea!

– In the meantime, MBC continues to invest in the production of high quality multimedia content in Lebanon, taking into account the interest of the national economy, including the media and advertising sectors, as well as their creative staff. Clarification was needed. "

It should be noted that "MBC" launched the chain "MBC Iraq" in the evening of Sunday, February 17.
