Arqiva has announced it will be providing full playout services and uplink facilities for AETN’s new UK edition Military History channel as part of a five-year contract.
Also included is an advanced graphical overlay package, voiceover facilities and full digital archiving of the channel’s content.
Uplinking to capacity on the Eurobird satellite (28 degrees East) will take place from Arqiva’s Chalfont Grove facility; somewhat appropriate given the site’s longstanding connections with the British military.
Richard Melman, acting managing director of The History Channel UK, said the ability to provide Military History with all the facilities from a single site had simplified the launch process.
