According to Khalid Balkheyour, Arabsat President & CEO, the company has enjoyed a long partnership with Euronews, one of the most viewed news channels in Europe, and the firm looks forward to continuing to offer the varied news streams through Arabsat BADR-4. This move supports Arabsat's content strategy to deliver specialized video frequencies that reflect market demand to Arabsat audience across MENA and Europe and ensuring the best Free-To-Air (FTA) viewing experience at home.
 
Michael Peters, Euronews CEO, added that with Arabsat, Euronews is guaranteed to reach a wide audience. In addition to providing expert coverage on European news, the broadcaster's multicultural team of 30 nationalities is also their strength — Euronews will certainly meet the interests of the Arabsat audience.
