Canal Satellite Réunion, which is a subsidiary of Canal Overseas, has leased additional capacity on Eutelsat’s W2 satellite to support the expansion of the Canal Satellite Réunion pay-TV platform serving Reunion Island and surrounding islands in the Indian Ocean.
With the new contract Canal Satellite Réunion is now operating four transponders with over 60 channels. The line-up includes seven new thematic channels launched this month: Du côté de chez vous, Ushuaïa TV, Kanal Austral, MTV Music, Extreme Sports Channel, Game One and Private Spice.
In addition to providing additional capacity, Eutelsat will also uplink the new channels from its teleport at Rambouillet, near Paris.
