Al Jazeera Network has secured the distribution of its free-to-air channels (Al Jazeera Arabic, Al Jazeera English, Al Jazeera Documentary Channel and Al Jazeera Sport 1 & 2) with the leading cable operators in Lebanon on ECOnet and Cablevision.
This is the first time Al Jazeera Network has bundled all of its Free-To-Air (FTA) channels in Lebanon in this way - the deals are strategic as they help to support Al Jazeera's partners in a challenging market in which piracy is a key issue. The deal takes Al Jazeera's FTA channels into subscribers' homes across Lebanon, enabling viewers to watch Al Jazeera's comprehensive coverage of the region and international events.
Phil Lawrie, Al Jazeera Network's Director of Global Distribution comments: 'We are celebrating our new strategic partnerships with ECOnet and Cablevision. These agreements further strengthen our presence in Lebanon and are testament to Al Jazeera Network's position as the Arab World's most watched and trusted broadcaster.'
ECOnet's Joseph Maalouf says: 'ECOnet is proud to be taking its partnership with Al Jazeera Network to the next level - this new agreement enables our subscribers to have official and uninterrupted access to some of the Middle East's premier television channels.'
Cablevision's General Manager, Mr. Mazen Ismail remarks:
'We are delighted to be building on our historic partnership with Al Jazeera Network. This deal delivers the very best in international News, Sports, Business and Documentary programming to our viewers.'
