The Austrian regional broadcaster kaernten.tv will add satellite distribution to its streaming internet presence this Friday (November 13). In December, RTV Salzburg will also start broadcasting from the Astra satellite.
Until now, kaernten.tv was available only on the web and on cable. The broadcaster will share a channel with Tirol TV, another regional broadcaster from Austria, and hopes to gain carriage on the regional DVB-T network.
RTV Salzburg is a private -public partnership serving 119 communities in the Salzburg region. lt will start broadcasting this week and add Astra distribution in December. (The picture shows the launch festivities of RTV Salzburg)
