According to Reuters, OSN, headquartered in Dubai, has signed a long-term exclusive distribution rights agreement, but further details were not disclosed.
The original Disney+ programmes will be available on OSN’s pay television and online streaming services in 17 regional markets, including Egypt, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. The online streaming service costs USD 9.50 per month.
It is the first time when content of Disney+, Walt Disney’s streaming service, has been distributed through a third-party provider, OSN said, and the deal is likely to intensify competition with the likes of Netflix, which has a strong regional presence.
