CCTV launches four channels to Europe with GlobeCast

14 September 2009

Beijing - GlobeCast has launched four additional channels for Chinese broadcaster CCTV on its platform on the EUROBIRD 9A satellite for pan-European coverage. CCTV-4, CCTV Español (Spanish), CCTV Russian and CCTV Arabia now have access to a potential audience of 300 million households.

GlobeCast’s solution for CCTV includes fibre delivery to its Brookmans Park facility outside London, where the channels are uplinked to the EUROBIRD 9A satellite at 9°E.

CCTV is the latest major broadcaster to join GlobeCast’s platform on EUROBIRD 9A. In June of this year, GlobeCast announced the migration of BBC Prime to the satellite, which shares a broadcast neighborhood with market-leader HOT BIRD. The satellite provides comprehensive Direct-to-Home coverage of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.
