SAB has a dynamic media presence in the Middle East. From prestigious brands like The Times to popular specialist titles like Arreyadi, SAB has a finger on the pulse of the region's media.
The Times, The Sunday Times and Times Online
SAB has a long term licensing deal with The Times, The Sunday Times and Times Online in the Middle East.
The Middle East edition of both papers is published by SAB Media in Dubai and they currently have a daily circulation of more than 18,000 copies. SAB Media also commercially represents the Times Online in the region. More than 244,000 monthly unique regional users read the paper's breaking news, comment and analysis on global issues, business, sport, travel and entertainment.
Arreyadi
Arreyadi is one of the leading daily sports newspapers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Produced in three print centres in Riyadh, Dammam and Jeddah, it caters for the Kingdom's football-addicted sports fans, selling more than 70,000 copies every day, seven days a week across all of KSA. With 16 pages of football news, features and analysis covering the region, Arreyadi is a must-read for all football fans.
Viszo
Viszo started life with the desire to help connect the people of the Middle East to the internet using WiFi technology. To make this happen, Viszo engaged with a number of leading service providers (namely Intel and PWC) to create a state of the art technology platform.
With the platform operational, a number of partnerships being formed and a committed management team in place, Viszo is ready for its next stage of growth – targeting niche sectors across the Middle East and North Arica. Viszo will capitalize on the current technology trends occurring in the mobile and WiFi markets along with the low internet penetration rates across the region, to become a meshed network operator and service aggregator and provider.
Viszo will provide companies, individuals and government organizations in targeted regions across the Middle East with a reliable, high speed wireless network that delivers a fantastic customer experience and services to boot. Once this network is in place, valuable services and content will be provided to customers further enhancing the Viszo proposition.
Viszo is being rolled out globally from the Middle East.
