MBC Iraq (Arabic: إم بي سي العراق) is a TV channel for Iraqi viewers. It was launched on 17 February 2019.[1][2] The channel is owned by the Middle East Broadcasting Center.[2][3] The channel also features several new Egyptian dramas such as Al Kabeer, Raqam Majhool, Keid Al Nesa and Ferqat Naji Atallah.

MBC 1 has secured a deal to show 32 Indian movies after its initial broadcast of Jodhaa Akbar, which was a huge success and was appreciated by the public as well as the advertisers.[4] This, however, ended up on MBC 1 and MBC Drama instead, due to tying in the Bollywood films as part of the dubbed films package so that these films can be watched by the Arab audience as well.

Dubbed films

After debuting in October 2009, MBC 1 was scheduled to make a weekly broadcast every Thursday, of a selection of highly noted Hollywood films and other acclaimed films that are dubbed rather than subtitled in Arabic. Depending on the nature of the film genre, the dubbing is either in standard Arabic, or features a dialect. Oddly, the selection of dubbed films are the type of films that naturally don't get broadcast on MBC Max due to their extreme violent nature.

Starting from January 9, 2010, MBC 1 now features one dubbed film at the usual timings every day of the week, including Fridays, which now features MBC 1's new Bollywood films package. Any film outside of Thursday will retain to comply with MBC1's standardized content, but they can still also be viewed in their original languages. The currently known Thursday selection of August 2010 includes:

(The regular schedule is to be on hiatus after August 11, due to the expansion of the overall film schedule during the month of Ramadan.)

Around April 2010, with MBC 1's increased library of dubbed films, MBC apparently are now giving more random schedules for films with Arabic dubs, alongside the usual schedules. This is most likely due to the increased popularity and interest in the dubbing of American films.[source?]

Despite the fact MBC created this package for the entertainment of watching dubbed Hollywood films, nevertheless they gave their viewers a choice of switching audio tracks if they want to watch these particular films in their original English tracks, as well as adding subtitles for the viewers who can support this feature. It is currently unknown if this package is permanent. It is likely all the dubbing was produced in-house, which would most likely be the reason why MBC retains exclusivity to these dubbed films/audio tracks as they do not appear anywhere else, and it seems apparent the dubbing was primarily performed by Syrian voice-actors. This limit, however, is lifted in MBC Drama's new dubbed films package.

Bollywood films

After debuting on January 15, 2010, MBC 1 is scheduled to make a weekly broadcast, every Friday, of a selection of Hindi films. However, these films will be primarily available dubbed in Arabic for MBC 1's majority Arab audience. The currently known selection of August 2010 includes:

(The regular schedule is to be on hiatus after August 11, due to the expansion of the overall film schedule during the month of Ramadan).

This package is partially jointed with MBC 1's dubbed films package. Which means despite the fact MBC created this package for the entertainment of watching dubbed Bollywood films.

Ramadan Broadcasting

Beginning from this Ramadan, MBC1 is playing movies without commercial breaks, although, some movies may have a one-minute break every once in a while.
