MBC 4 is the first free-to-air channel in the Middle East aired specifically for American programs. It is one of the many spun-off channels from the Middle East Broadcasting Center (MBC). Before this channel was launched, all its shows were broadcast on MBC 2. However, a few years after launching MBC 2, all programs except for movies were separated into MBC 4, so that MBC 2 will only show movies. MBC has announced that MBC 4 will broadcast the popular American television series Grey's Anatomy in April. The show is expected to be MBC 4's coup of 2007.
