VIVA has announced its partnership with MBC Group which allows its customers to pay subscription fees of Shahid Plus, the latest by Shahid and the number one Premium Video on Demand (VOD) service in the Arab world. The agreement became possible because of the strategic partnership between VIVA, MBC Group and Intigral, the Middle East leading digital hub.

The deal allows VIVA’s customers to enjoy paid packages from Shahid Plus to watch the latest movies without commercial breaks along with premium TV shows and series for BD2 only. Payment will be settled without a credit card, but directly charged to the customers’ monthly post-paid bill or debited from their prepaid account.

Andrew Hanna, VIVA Bahrain Chief Commercial Officer, said: “Our partnership with MBC Group enables us to continue to provide yet another value-added offering coupled with international content that will help our customers stay connected to their favourite shows and enjoy the best of entertainment even while on-the-go”.
