Turner Broadcasting System’s Boomerang, Cartoon Network and Turner Classic Movies (TCM), channels will be distributed to cable networks in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Luxembourg through Eutelsat’s KabelKiosk platform.
Signals are taken from the TBS playout centre in London and delivered by fibre to Eutelsat’s Rambouillet teleport via a PoP in Telehouse N, London. At Rambouillet, the channels are encrypted, placed into a DVB multiplex for the KabelKiosk platform and transmitted by satellite (Atlantic Bird 2) to cable headends at more than 170 regional cable network partners in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Luxembourg who offer their subscribers the KabelKiosk channel product.
The Turner channels will be available with both English and German soundtracks.
