With the new application interface, SLING now provides Arabic customers a seamless viewing experience within its own app, where they can enjoy popular Arabic titles such as "Arous Beirut," "Al Hayba" and "Al Leaba" alongside live premium Arabic channels, BeIn Sports, and other SLING content.
"SLING has long been the leader in providing Arabic TV to US-based audiences," said Liz Riemersma, Vice President of SLING International.
