- SLING offers the entire Shahid VIP library in-app,
comprising 30k+ hours of premium Arabic on-demand content
(including exclusive programming).
- New interface creates a rich and seamless user experience
for customers looking to watch live channels and Shahid VIP
on-demand content all in one place.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., March 31,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- SLING TV, the leading provider
of live streaming international television content, has announced
that Shahid VIP's entire entertainment library is now available
through the SLING app. The offering compliments SLING's existing
Arabic channel lineup and value-added bundle with Anghami Plus to
create the most comprehensive Ramadan entertainment package in the
U.S.
SLING's partnership with Shahid began in 2017 when subscribers
were given access to Shahid's direct-to-consumer app - outside of
the SLING platform - as part of its programming package. With the
new application interface, SLING now provides Arabic customers a
seamless viewing experience within its own app, where they can
enjoy popular Arabic titles such as "Arous Beirut," "Al Hayba" and "Al Leaba" alongside live premium
Arabic channels, BeIn Sports, and
other SLING content.
"SLING has long been the leader in providing Arabic TV to
US-based audiences," said Liz
Riemersma, Vice President of SLING International. "Our
integration with Shahid and partnership with Anghami make our
offering truly comprehensive. We are ecstatic to be launching this
offering in time for Ramadan, when our customers are looking for
ways to connect to culture and entertainment from their home
country."
With Ramadan starting on April 2,
the launch of Shahid's offering on SLING couldn't come at a better
time for Arabic subscribers. Shahid VIP is known for its strong
offering of exclusive Ramadan specials from across the Arab region,
which SLING subscribers can now enjoy all in one place.
SLING offers unlimited access to Shahid VIP with both the Al
Ostoura package ($25/month) and
Shahid VIP standalone package ($8.99). In addition to Shahid VIP on-demand, Al
Ostoura includes 130+ premium live Arabic channels - many of which
are exclusive to SLING - and is currently offering a free 3-day
trial. All new SLING Arabic customers will also receive a free
3-month trial for Anghami Plus, the world's leading Arabic music
streaming platform which offers more than 53 million songs to more
than 70 million users in 243 countries.
