INTRODUCTION

for platforms to upgrade or cross-sell. Where the streaming platform retains meaningful parts of activation, account management and the wider customer journey, aggregation can deepen the relationship rather than simply add another distribution partner. The Epic Bundle is a useful illustration: Shahid is the point of activation and bundle management even though the offer spans three services. Aggregation does not automatically improve the bottom line. Premium content remains expensive, and Anghami’s filings show fixed OSN+ video content fees weighing on profitability even as revenue grew. The test is whether better retention, monetisation and cross-sell from the existing customer base can carry the broader proposition. That is why customer lifetime value is more useful here than ARPU alone. Taken together, this points to a layered distribution model: telcos and other partners extend reach, the remaining Anghami shares in

turns event-led acquisition into

Content is where the economics of acquisition and retention are tested most visibly and live sport is the sharpest example. Premium rights can generate sign-ups quickly, but they are expensive and engagement is concentrated around the event. The question is not simply how many subscribers a right can attract, but how much value the relationship continues to generate once the event is over. Thmanyah’s Saudi football proposition shows one route. It combines broad free access with paid premium features and operator billing, while advertising and commercial partnerships sit around the same audience. The aim is to make a single rights package work across acquisition, conversion and monetisation rather than rely on subscription revenue alone. Shahid offers a different lesson. After stepping away from the Saudi Pro League, MBC reported better-than-expected retention and engagement around a broader
