Telly signs partnership deal with Kuwait TV

Telly, a premium video-on-demand service, has signed a partnership deal with Kuwait TV, the country's leading broadcaster, for digitisation and distribution of hundreds of TV shows, including popular Arabic content.

Under the agreement hundreds of hours of new shows will be digitised monthly and added to Telly's library, said a statement from the service provider.

The first batch of Kuwait TV shows, including top dramas, kids shows and comedies like Dars Khosousi, Atfal Moughameroon, Mickey Mouse Club House and Ahlam Ala Warak are available today to stream on Telly's website or apps.

The addition of Kuwait TV will triple Telly's Arabic content library, which also includes exclusive, original Arabic TV series like After The End.

The Khaleeji-oriented programmes complement Telly's popular Hollywood shows like Karate Kid, Outlander, Spiderman 3 and Breaking Bad - available with Arabic subtitles and in HD quality, said a statement.

Eric Morhenn, CEO of Telly, said: "Consumers in Middle East and North Africa (Mena) want to watch shows on their mobile devices anytime, anywhere. In particular GCC residents crave quality, local content. Our service delivers on those customers’ need. We are a relief from the frustration and complexity of traditional linear TV."

“We are about the freedom of on-demand, a clean mobile-first design, and the fun of binge watching,” he stated.

Telly is available today on Android devices, Apple devices (iPhone, iPad and Apple TV) and the web for an affordable monthly subscription of $4.99, it stated.
