"What distinguishes a channel's corresponding portal from a website is the level of integration between the FTA satellite channel and the accessibility of the channel's content and services online." Explained Ms. Lina Juma, Arab Advisors Research Analyst. "Arab Advisors Group's analysis shows that a majority of channels with an online presence have an enhanced presence. Having said that, many satellite channels with basic online presence demonstrate plans to enhance their services".
