in Saudi Arabia

An Audiovisual Media license is for foreign companies wishing to engage in broadcasting and other audiovisual media activity in the Kingdom. The General Commission for Audiovisual Media (GCAM) grants the license, and it is mandatory for all entities that produce, distribute, or exhibit audiovisual content in the Kingdom.

The media industry in Saudi Arabia holds a market share of almost 30% in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, making it the dominant player with a sector worth SAR 17.4 billion. As part of Saudi Arabia’s strategic goals outlined in Saudi Vision 2030, the media industry’s transformation is considered a core pillar.
