Channel hopes to reach 35 million homes in Middle East and Africa.
Some shows that will become available in Arabic include Ben 10, Powerpuff Girls, DexterÂ’s Laboratory, Samurai Jack and FosterÂ’s Home for Imaginary Friends.
Daoud Kuttab, director-general of the Community Media Network in Amman and Ramallah said that while there are difficulties with Arabic dubbing, the channel should still be a hit.
“I think people will watch it,” said Kuttab. “The problem they will have is something all studios have with the classical Arabic, it sounds as if you were speaking [English] from the sixteenth century.”
