OSN to welcome baby number two
8 Aug - It was just last October that they welcomed their first baby, and now rapper OSN and musician wife RED are having another one. RED shared the good news on social media on 8 August with several photos, including her sporting a baby bump and an ultrasound image of the unborn child. She teased OSN by writing, "88 Day (Father's Day in Taiwan) and now a father of two!" RED also added a photo of their daughter playing with their cat, and the caption, "I'm getting ready to be a big sister." Speaking to the media about the pregnancy, OSN, or real name Kao Erh-hsuan, stated, "When my wife first told me, I was out working. She showed me the pregnancy test over a video call. My first thought was, 'What a surprise! Everything's happening so fast!'" The rapper also has a name already for the child if it turns out to be a boy, saying, "If it's a boy, I'm going to name him Bjorn. It's the name of the eldest son of the main character in the TV show 'Vikings'. Such a righteous manly character!" (Photo Source: RED IG)

OSN Group CEO Joe Kawkabani resigns after three years at the helm
OSN has officially confirmed the resignation of its CEO Joe Kawkabani, who has been driving the company's growth through strategic vision, partnerships and investments for the past three years. Sheikha Dana Naser Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah, Chairperson of OSN Group, said, 'I would like to thank Joe for his dedicated leadership and valuable contributions. His efforts have laid a strong foundation for OSN's continued growth and reflect a mutual understanding of the company's ongoing strategic priorities.' Sheikha Al Sabah added, 'As we move forward, our full commitment remains to offer our subscribers the best and most unique media content experience in the region.' Most recently, Campaign Middle East reported on OSN's partnership with Magnite to power its 'Advanced TV,' addressable advertising across the network's STB linear broadcast and VOD inventory. The deal saw the independent sell-side advertising company manage the delivery of the advertising format to OSN set-top boxes across the region with its Magnite SpringServe video platform ad server. Prior to this, Mastercard and OSN+ went past the rules of traditional retail advertising by orchestrating compelling campaigns which turned Amazon's touchpoints into their playground and helped them reach and engage new audiences in the MENA region. Their success stories reveal how Amazon's first-party signals and insights combined with their creative canvas solutions are redefining what's possible in advertising. Commenting on his resignation from the Group CEO role, Joe Kawkabani said, 'After three incredible years, I have decided to move on to the next challenge. It has been my privilege to lead OSN and to drive its growth and transformation.' Kawkabani added, 'Through strategic investments and local and international partnerships, we unlocked new growth opportunities for OSN in a challenging but exciting time for the media industry. I am deeply thankful to the Chairperson Sheikha Dana and the Board for their support throughout this journey, and I look forward to seeing OSN's continued success.' Earlier in 2025, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) announced a strategic minority investment in OSN Streaming Ltd., a subsidiary of OSN Group, reinforcing WBD's commitment to the region's rapidly growing streaming landscape. In 2024, OSN Group acquired 55.45 per cent of Anghami Inc., merging it with OSN+ and creating a media and entertainment powerhouse. Furthermore, OSN has continued to evolve its offering, securing long-term partnerships with major global players, including its exclusive deal with HBO in 2022.

Ti22 Films and OSN announce new culinary show ‘Ditch The Silver'
Each 24-minute episode is hosted by Arva Ahmed, founder of Frying Pan Adventures. Ti22 Films has announced a new collaboration with OSN for the launch of Ditch The Silver, a 10-episode weekly series set to premiere in Q4 2025 on both OSN and its streaming platform OSN+. Moving away from Dubai's glitzy image, the show explores the city's lesser-known, soul-rich food spots and the diverse communities behind them, offering a raw and flavourful journey through the UAE's culinary undercurrents. Each 24-minute episode uncovers under-the-radar eateries, bold flavours and human stories that reflect the UAE's diverse and evolving food culture.

The series invites viewers to experience the UAE's culinary heritage through a new lens. Speaking about the show, Arva Ahmed, Founder of Frying Pan Adventures, said: 'Dubai is a city of contrasts, where cultures and cuisines sit side by side, often without ever being seen. Ditch the Silver began on YouTube to spotlight those quieter food stories—rooted in history, resilience, and everyday flavor. It's exciting to now bring that journey to OSN and OSN+, with the chance to reach more people and create deeper impact. As someone who grew up here and spent over a decade leading guided food tours and documenting the city's foodscape, this is about sharing the places and people that deserve to be seen.'

Our collaboration with Ti22 Films reflects OSN's ongoing commitment to champion local narratives and deliver content that not only entertains but also resonates with the heart of our region.' The series is backed by Ti22 Films, which has produced high-profile projects such as the daily show at Expo 2020, COP28 and the Untold music festival, and currently produces DXB Today for Dubai One TV and The Final Pitch airing later this year.
