Grupo Televisa is to further expand the reach of its video services in Europe.
The Mexican multimedia company has signed a multi-year agreement with Eutelsat Communications for capacity on Eutelsat 9B.
“Televisa is committed to continuing the distribution of Televisa Networks Programming to all our affiliates and consumers in Europe. Eutelsat’s satellite gives us the ability to do so with high-quality coverage”, said Williams Aguirre, General Director of Satellite Operations at Grupo Televisa.
José Ignacio González-Núñez, Eutelsat Americas Video Senior Vice President, added: “We are pleased that Televisa, one of our most important partners, has selected Eutelsat to further expand its footprint in Europe, leveraging one of our prime video neighbourhoods in the region. This is the result of a truly valuable commercial relationship between the two companies.”
Eutelsat’s 9 degrees East orbital position is home to a growing direct-to-home neighbourhood and cable hotspot. It currently carries over 500 TV channels, including 200 in HD.
