MBC Iraq (Arabic: إم بي سي العراق) is a Saudi Arabian free-to-air television channel owned by the MBC Group. It targets Iraqi audiences and produces original Iraqi programs through MBC Studios, alongside broadcasting imported content.[1][2]
History
[edit]MBC Iraq was launched on 17 February 2019 by the Saudi-owned MBC Group as a family-oriented television channel targeting Iraqi audiences.[3]
On 19 October 2024, MBC's offices in Baghdad were damaged during protests following the broadcast of a report that described Palestinian militants as "terrorists." Approximately 400 to 500 people were reported to have vandalized the premises, damaged equipment, and started fires before police intervened. In response, an Iraqi lawmaker criticized the broadcast and announced plans to pursue the revocation of MBC's broadcasting license in Iraq.[4]
