BBC Studios and Switzerland’s CosmoBlue Media have entered an exclusive strategic partnership designed to expand their footprint across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region and Turkey.
This deal includes the launch of a new general entertainment channel in the region, the integration of BBC Player into streaming platform CosmoGO, and co-distribution initiatives for BBC Studios’ existing channel portfolio.

Launching in both Turkey and the MENA region, this integration will allow audiences to access British content on-demand.
CosmoBlue Media will exclusively cooperate with BBC Studios on the distribution of linear channels including drama network BBC First, natural history channel BBC Earth and kids’ network CBeebies across multiple territories in the region.
Berk Uziyel, co-founder and group CEO at CosmoBlue Media. “This strategic collaboration reflects our shared belief in high-quality storytelling, cultural relevance, and platform innovation.”
Arran Tindall, president EMEA, global channels and streaming said: “It is a significant step in developing a greater business across the Türkiye and MENA region that enables our compelling content to reach and engage new audiences wherever they are and across all platforms.”
