The Iraqi streaming platform 1001 has partnered with Wide.net to boost its Arabic entertainment library. This new agreement adds over 8,000 hours of premium Arabic programming to 1001’s service. Through this move, both companies aim to enhance Arabic streaming content in Iraq for local viewers.
The exclusive deal allows 1001 to strengthen its catalog with high-quality films, series, and shows. This step aligns with the platform’s goal to promote legal viewing and support Iraq’s creative economy. By offering licensed content, 1001 hopes to attract more users and reduce the appeal of pirated media.
Wide.net, a leading platform in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), brings top Khaliji and Arabic content to this partnership. The company launched in 2016 and built a strong reputation for quality programming. Now, it will help expand the digital media experience for viewers in Iraq.
Streaming habits in Iraq are changing rapidly. High smartphone use and better internet access have pushed more people to digital platforms. As a result, Arabic streaming content in Iraq has become more popular and in demand.
Many viewers now choose legal options instead of pirated sites. Platforms like 1001 lead this shift by delivering content that reflects Iraqi culture and meets global quality standards. This partnership also benefits the region’s entertainment industry by offering creators a legal way to reach new audiences.
The deal comes at a time when Iraq’s media scene is growing. Viewers increasingly expect better content and smoother platforms. With more Arabic content available, 1001 can now compete with larger services across the region.
According to 1001’s management, the company will continue to grow its offerings. They plan to introduce more features that cater to Arabic-speaking audiences, including localized recommendations and easier access to trending shows.
The expansion marks a new chapter for Arabic streaming content in Iraq, driven by collaboration and innovation. It also reflects a broader movement toward legal digital consumption in the Arab world.
Through this deal, 1001 strengthens its position as Iraq’s leading platform for Arabic-language entertainment.
