Bosnian pay TV operator MAXtv has tapped video-on-demand specialist Mobibase to provide the distribution of Arabic and Turkish ethnic TV packages for its platform.

MAXtv provides more than 100 thematic TV channels through its service maxtv.ba available on IPTV set-top boxes.

As well as offering a variety of local channels, the service has targeted Arabic and Turkish communities in the country with its raft of Mobibase distributed channels, including France 24, Rotana, Al Resalah and Fenerbahçe TV, Power Turk, Travel TV, and Cartoon TV, in their native languages.

Mobibase provides several ethnic TV packages, including Hispanic, Arabic, Turkish, Indian, Italian, French, and Russian services, as well as access to more than 200 thematic TV channels. The company’s offering meets content rights requirements in selective territories worldwide and for distribution to multiple devices, including smartphones, tablets, PCs, and set-top boxes.

“MAXtv is constantly looking to distribute new types of domestic channels in order to provide the best possible television experience to subscribers.

Going forward, we will continue to enrich our TV and VOD catalog with fresh, targeted, and ethnic content to entertain diverse audiences all around the world,” said Vincent Roger, CEO of Mobibase.
