We are pleased to continue this partnership with Dizi, bringing another deal on the table with added-value Turkish series - locally adapted content that meets the needs of the viewers in MENA,” Sales Director for the African Market at Digital Virgo, Achraf Ammour, said.
According to a new distribution deal between the long-standing partners, Dizi will be available in Arabic on the products, PlayVOD, Veedz and Unlimited Streaming in Morocco, Egypt, Tunisia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Oman.
