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 4 is now broadcasting the popular American television series Grey's Anatomy and Desperate Housewives . MBC 4 is aimed mostly at female audiences, unlike its sister channel MBC Action. It is owned by the Saudi Arabian businessman Waleed Al Ibrahim.
