Programming

Generally, the channel broadcasts syndicated programming from the United States and occasionally from the United Kingdom and Australia. In addition, Dubai One TV currently offers three movies per night, and has screened to date more than 300 films. The channel also repeats programming it has broadcast during the week on Friday, known as "Catch Up Friday". Dubai One has a partnership with Warner Bros. and Disney which gives them a large access of movies.[1] Recently, Dubai One has started showing Bollywood films once a month on Thursday night at 11 pm U.A.E. time. The offered programs suffer from a certain amount of censorship that tries to control scenes involving a certain level of sexuality and occasionally political, and this is done to retain the consistency of the U.A.E's moral and religious Islamic culture.[citation needed]

Dubai One also airs the most watched TV series in the world The Bold and the Beautiful 9 months behind the United States (CBS Network).

In-house Production

The channel broadcasts a variety of in-house productions including Studio One (TV Series), Out & About This Week, Emirates 24/7, Dubai 101, Emirati and Twenty Something.

Previous productions include Her Say, Bonds for Life, World of Sports (TV Series) and City Wrap.
