FINTECH.TV Receives Official UAE Broadcasting License, Establishing Permanent Television Presence Across The United Arab Emirates

FINTECH.TV has been granted an official Radio and TV Broadcasting License by the UAE National Media Authority, authorizing FINTECH.TV FZ-LLC to establish and operate a streaming platform across the United Arab Emirates. Issued through Dubai Media City, the license — disclosed in a press release dated April 16, 2026 — establishes a permanent licensed broadcast presence for the global financial media network and paves the way for studios launching in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi that will anchor its MENA operations.

"This license is a reflection of our commitment to the UAE and to the region," said Troy McGuire, Co-Founder and Head of Global Content and Operations at FINTECH.TV. "We are building a 24/7 streaming channel focused on the future of finance, and the UAE is one of the most compelling stories in the world right now. Our viewers in the United States will see, every single day, the extraordinary financial infrastructure being built here and understand why companies from every corner of the world are choosing to set up business in the UAE. We are a pro-business platform, and we cannot wait to start telling these stories."

Details and strategic intent

The license authorizes FINTECH.TV FZ-LLC to operate a streaming platform across the UAE and positions the network to deliver live financial programming that connects the region's markets to Wall Street and to FINTECH.TV 's global audience. The company said the Dubai and Abu Dhabi studios will “serve as the anchor of its MENA broadcast operation,” and that the new authorization marks “a defining milestone in FINTECH.TV 's global expansion.”

Founder and CEO Vince Molinari framed the move as strategic for international financial coverage. "The UAE is not just a market, it is where the future of finance is being built in real time," he said. "The regulatory clarity around digital assets, the sovereign commitment to blockchain and AI, and the concentration of institutional capital that has moved into Dubai and Abu Dhabi make the UAE the most important international market we could be in. Receiving this license is a statement about where global finance is heading and about FINTECH.TV 's role in covering it."

FINTECH Media Group — the parent company that owns FINTECH.TV and Breakout — said the network already broadcasts from studios at the New York Stock Exchange and announced Dubai and Abu Dhabi additions as part of a broader international footprint. Breakout, described in the release, is a real-time social audio and messaging platform with users in over 24 countries.
