Its programming consists of reruns of TV shows from Morocco TV network 2M and SNRT-owned TV channels, with newscasts being broadcast in French, Spanish, Arabic and Berber.[3] Al Maghribiya was created around the concept of the French TV channel TV5Monde and is focused towards the Moroccan diaspora living in other countries.[4]
In January 2014, Abdessamad Bencherif announced its intention to make Al Maghribiya an international news channel with the purpose of "countering misinformation from Morocco's rivals and enemies of its interests." [5]
The channel started broadcasting in high-definition on 20 November 2017.
