B4U Channels to be available free to air despite OSN discontinuing Pehla bouquet in the MENA Region

 

OSN announced earlier today that It would be discontinuing its Pehla subscription bouquet which consisted of South Asian and cricket channels due to the effects of piracy in the MENA region. 

B4U Network is pleased to announce that their popular channels B4U Aflam and B4U Plus will not be interrupted in light of this closure. B4U are pleased to reiterate that both channels are available free to air on Nilesat and OSN. 

B4U Aflam and B4U Plus have remained popular channels with an eclectic range of Bollywood programming that has catered to both the Arab and South Asian audience in the MENA region over the past 6 years. 

Whilst the news of the closure of the Pehla package will inconvenience subscribers, B4U network reassures viewers that their channels B4U Aflam and B4U Plus will continue to fill a void in an ever-changing South Asian market. 

Bringing Bollywood to viewers across the MENA market, B4U is expecting a surge in viewership with their consistent, uninterrupted services that promises to provide non-stop entertainment. 

All Pehla packs will be discontinued and further subscriptions stopped from July 15, the day after the final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.

B4U Aflam and B4U Plus are available FREE TO AIR on Nilesat and OSN. The channels are also available in the basic pack and other packs on DU, E-Vision, Mobily, STC and Ooredoo.
