DTVE Middle East & Africa 2014
The free-to-air and pay TV markets of the Middle East and Africa have had mixed fortunes over the past year.
In the Middle East, the free TV market – with the partial exception of pan-Arab broadcasters – has suffered from the effects of the multiple crises and conflicts that have plagued the region. Pay TV, on the other hand, has continued to make strong progress from a modest base.
In sub-Saharan Africa, progress towards digital switchover has been difficult. Pay TV on the other hand has seen a multiplicity of new services launch.
In Digital TV Europe’s Middle East & Africa 2014, we summarise the general trends, interview leading players in the Middle East and look at a range of new initiatives in train for Africa.
