In coherence with the Saudi king, Salman Bin Abdel Aziz Al Saoud’s visit to Indonesia, Rotana, one of the region’s biggest media networks has launched three dedicated channels in the Indonesian market.

This expansion of the Saudi network is the first in a state considered the biggest Islamic country population wise, launching three new channels in partnership with “Lightning” and available on SMV Free Cable. The first channel is a religious one, while the second is dedicated to Arabic films and the third broadcasting general content.

The preparations for this launch have been ongoing for some time and it was announced on the first of March, the day the Saudi king arrived to Indonesia. These channels will cater to the Indonesian population in addition to the resident Arabs thru a bouquet of programs which some will be in Arabic, while others will be dubbed to Indonesian and English.
