Overview

OSN Group is a leading MENA pay-TV and streaming operator, formed in 2009 from the merger of Orbit Communications Company and Showtime Arabia. It operates OSNtv (direct-broadcast satellite) and the OSN+ streaming service across roughly 17 markets in the Gulf, Levant, and North/East Africa, distributing international channels alongside original Arabic-language productions. The group is majority-controlled by Kuwait's KIPCO (via Panther Media Group, based in DIFC, Dubai), and has expanded into music streaming through its controlling stake in Anghami and a 2025 minority investment from Warner Bros. Discovery into its streaming arm.
