Arabic TV Channels In UK

[LoveforWales]

Hello. 

Bit of a random question, but does anyone know if it's possible to have Arabic TV channels added to my Sky package? I watched al24 news from algeria, And if so, a rough idea of the additional cost?

Thanks!

Thank you

Channels need to approach Sky to be added to the EPG, customers do not request channels

For some Arabc channels you can get them at 13e which means a 2nd dish and compatible receiver, it's unlikely they would use a UK focused satellite as well as the audience figures would be too low.  Have a loom at the list here  to see if the ones you want are present.

As @GD1 indicates, a Sky dish can only 'see' channels carried on the trio of satellites at 28.2E, and the channel owners are only going to use those satellites if they think there's a viable audience size within the satellite footprint capable of generating enough income through subscription or advertising sales to pay for data transit.  That kind of calculation is inherent to satellite television broadcasting, particularly now the internet provides an alternative pathway to reach viewers.
