Al Jazeera Media Network has extended its agreement with Eutelsat for broadcast services across the Middle East, North Africa and Europe.
It’s signed a new multi-year, multi-satellite agreement will assure broadcast continuity of Al Jazeera’s bouquet of SD and HD news and events channels at three of Eutelsat’s leading video neighbourhoods: 7/8° West, for audiences across the Middle East and North Africa; Eutelsat Hotbird for audiences across Europe, and Eutelsat 16° East for Central and Eastern Europe.
7/8° West is the leading broadcast neighbourhood for MENA, reaching 95% of homes across the region. The Eutelsat Hotbird position at 13° East is the leading DTH, Cable, IP & DTT neighbourhood for Europe reaching 130 million homes, and a unique platform for Arab communities living in Europe, while Eutelsat 16A at 16° East is the leading broadcast position for Central and Eastern Europe, with extensive coverage of the CEE region.
