In the Middle East and around the world, the way people watch media is changing. Smartphone and mobile device viewing through apps and social media have become the preferred way for many, especially a new and growing younger audience. SAT-7 has kept pace with the changes by offering online streaming and, in 2021, launching a video-on-demand service called SAT-7 PLUS. With SAT-7 PLUS, people can watch the Christian programming they want, when they want.

According to recent surveys, up to 62% of young people in the Middle East and North Africa primarily watch videos on smartphones. Nine out of 10 use at least one social media platform every day—most often from their phones. More than half already subscribe to a video-on-demand service. These new viewing habits have created an engaging way to provide Christian programming directly to viewers through their mobile devices. This adaptable technology is bringing people to faith in Christ and strengthening Christians in their faith.
