MTV Arabia was launched over the weekend, giving young Arabs a tailored and sanitized taste of the hip-hop-pop-reality tv channel. MTV Arabia is to feature 60% international music and local adaptations of the popular non-music shows (The Real World, Dubai?)
"But MTV, which is known for airing provocative videos featuring scantily clad women, says the Arab version of the pop-culture channel will show less bare skin and profanity."
MTV is moving in as big competition for a market dominated by locally produced music video channels. Do you think MTV should be expanding its world domination? Or do you think this is going to have a negative effect on Arab music culture?

MTV Arabia is going to play music videos? That reminds me of MTV in the US in the 1980s!
