MTV has renewed its contract with Arqiva for the uplinking of two transponders to the Astra satellite system at 19 degrees East.
Malcolm Campbell, commercial director, Arqiva Satellite & Media, said: “MTV has a number of distribution services with Arqiva and we are delighted that they have once again renewed this uplink service with us. Arqiva provides dedicated fibre backhaul between MTV’s facilities and our London Teleport where we uplink the two transponders.”
The MTV stations represent just a small portion of the 400 standard and high definition channels relayed by Arqiva.
