Al Aoula live: news, series and national events in HD

Al Aoula is the first public channel of Morocco, on air since 1962, and its schedule combines national news, Moroccan series, documentaries, religious programmes and official events.

The news bulletins are broadcast in Arabic, French and Amazigh, with debates and reports on politics, the economy and the regions. The evening schedule brings Moroccan drama and social series, cultural magazines and programmes for children. On Friday and on religious holidays, Al Aoula broadcasts prayers and religious talks, and during the holy month it airs the evening sitcoms and the Hassanian lectures.

To watch Al Aoula live, open the Moroccan national category of your IPTV app and select the channel; the stream starts in a second or two, in HD.

IPTV uses your internet connection instead of a dish: no antenna, no decoder, no installer. weweb sends your access details on WhatsApp, as Xtream Codes or an M3U link, and you type them once into the app. Al Aoula then appears with 2M, Al Maghribia, Medi 1 TV and the rest of the national channels.

Yes, Al Aoula works abroad: the channel, the guide and the apps are the same in Europe, the UK, the USA and Canada, as long as you have a stable internet connection.

Families abroad buy the same plan in dirhams and pay by bank card, Taptap Send, Western Union or bank transfer. Note that the guide shows Moroccan time, which helps you plan a live speech or a match from Montreal or New York. The page on IPTV for Moroccans abroad explains the payment and the setup from each country.

The programme guide (EPG) shows what Al Aoula broadcasts now and next, and catch-up, where the app and the channel support it, lets you go back to a programme you missed.

Check catch-up during the free test on the programmes you care about, since it depends on the channel and the app. For the picture, a stable line is what counts: fibre or a good ADSL line for the TV, Wi-Fi or 4G for a phone. A cable between the box and the router helps in the evening, when networks are busiest. The page on internet speed for IPTV gives the details.
