Luxembourg satellite company, SES, and Media Broadcast Satellite are extending their contract with an Astra satellite on SES’s prime orbital position 19.2 degrees east.
The multi-year extension will allow Media Broadcast Satellite to continue to use a full transponder on a pan-European ASTRA satellite to serve its customers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
“This new contract with Media Broadcast Satellite confirms their trust in us as a strong partner. This contract extension demonstrates that satellite plays an important role for TV distribution, and how it will remain key for the video business from a long-term perspective,” said Ferdinand Kayser, Chief Commercial Officer of SES.
