Middle East: Christian TV Touching More People Than Ever

Source: SAT-7, January 11, 2021

While 2020 was an extraordinarily hard year for many, it was also a year in which God was on the move in extraordinary ways. Soaring audience engagement (up to 30% overall growth) with SAT-7 channels showed that amid COVID-19, the hope of Christ shared through television touched more people than ever in the Middle East and North Africa.

The growth in engagement was especially marked for the channels that serve Arabic-speaking children and Turkish viewers, as well as SAT-7 ACADEMY education programs.

  • Audience engagement for SAT-7 KIDS climbed by 90 percent.
  • Contacts for the Turkish channel, SAT-7 TÜRK, rose 120 percent.
  • Audience engagement for SAT-7 ACADEMY soared by 328 percent.
  • Between January and September 2020, SAT-7 received 310,000 audience engagements in total, almost a third more than during the same period in 2019.
