The Cameroon media company Spectrum Group has launched its two free-to-air TV stations STV1 and STV2 on the NSS-7 satellite. Located at the orbital location of 338 degrees East, the satellite can provide high-power Ku-band coverage of West, Central and Southern Africa.
The launch of the two channels on the New Skies satellite enables Spectrum to simultaneously deliver two broadcasting signals nationwide throughout Cameroon both for direct reception on 95cm dishes and for re-broadcast via its terrestrial VHF transmission towers to a potential audience of over 17 million inhabitants. Programming on STV1 includes youth, music, urban and entertainment, while STV2 offers generalist programming, including live original news and events, entertainment, movies, sitcoms, documentaries, cultural shows, youth programming, educational and infotainment content.
