ONLY one week after its launch, the all new SHAHID application for iPad, ranked number 1 on the Apple Store throughout the Middle East and North Africa region, allowing MBC fans to watch their favorite shows in the most convenient way and at the highest quality possible. The App comes as a result of a massive public demand for enabling SHAHID on the iPad, after the website's region-wide success that was soon elevated to international prominence. Ever since it's re-launch in 2011, Shahid.net became the number 1 TV catch-up service in the MENA Region, providing viewers with free and exclusive content from all MBC Channels. With a 148 percent increase in the website's monthly unique visitors this year, and in their continuous effort to cater to their fans' needs, MBC Group firmly believes that the launch of SHAHID for iPad is the right step forward. Avid MBC viewers can now browse through their favorite TV programs and drama on the SHAHID App on iPad, providing them with instant access to watch unlimited number of episodes without any restrictions on time or place. Additionally, viewers can now watch SHAHID on their television sets with Apple AirPlay, and will no longer have to endure buffering with adaptive bit rate streaming. It is worth noting that, to date, Shahid.net recorded around 63 million visits and over 90 million video views in 2012 alone. – SG
