It delivers Western series, movies, dramas, thrillers, and action reality shows as well as Japanese anime and sports programs. The channel is a weekly "magazine" format show about cars, similar to Top Gear, which also broadcasts the British and American versions of the BBC's Top Gear. It was launched on 5 March 2007 with the Pilot episode of the TV series Lost which, along with Prison Break and The 4400, is one of MBC Action's biggest coups. It will also show new episodes of other shows like 24, Pimp My Ride, The Sparticle Mystery and the Power Rangers. The channel also airs the International Fight League.
