Television: Al Aoula’s numeral choice sparks viewer curiosity
A recent broadcast detail on Al Aoula caught viewers’ attention: the Hijri year appeared on screen using Eastern numerals instead of the number style commonly used in Morocco. This unexpected graphic choice quickly sparked curiosity and discussion among audiences.
In Moroccan media, so-called Western numerals are generally the standard visual format. Seeing an alternative numeral system—more commonly used in parts of the Middle East—therefore surprised many viewers, prompting questions about the channel’s visual consistency.
Beyond the graphic detail itself, the reaction highlights how closely audiences now scrutinize television presentation. Even a typographic element can become a talking point when it touches on the visual identity of a national broadcaster.
