    Dubai One (formerly known as Ch33 and then One TV) is a

    MENA region. It started broadcasting in HD on Nilesat 201
    on 28 February 2019.

    Background

    Dubai One broadcasts subtitled Western content targeting Arabs and expatriates living in Dubai and around the Arab world.[1] While most of the production is centralized at DMI's own studios, the channel has its own management, team, structure and strategy. The flow of advertising for it is controlled by Choueiri Group, through its subsidiary MEMS.

    History

    The channel was launched as a replacement for Channel 33. Dubai One launched at 9am on 24 December 2004, bearing a new name with brand new programming targeting the expat community and westernized Arabs.[2] The new offer consisted largely of imports coming in from the United States and the United Kingdom, with all programming being subtitled to Arabic. The new channel did not broadcast news and aired five feature films every day; all of them newer releases.[3] The channel had few carryovers from the former Channel 33, one notable absence was The Bold and the Beautiful, which was not in the initial line-up following the 2004 rename. After complaints from viewers, the series returned.[4]

    In early 2007, following the results of a six-month survey, One TV was renamed Dubai One.[5]
