SES en Inter Media Group breiden samenwerking voor tv-uitzendingen uit
LUXEMBURG–(BUSINESS WIRE)– SES S.A. heeft vandaag bekendgemaakt dat het een meerjarige overeenkomst heeft gesloten met Inter Media Group, de grootste mediagroep van Oekraïne. De deal heeft betrekking op extra capaciteit voor tv-uitzendingen op SES’ satelliet ASTRA 4A (5 graden oosterlengte).
Naast de belangrijkste zenders van Inter Media Group, Inter en NTN, distribueert de ASTRA krachtens de nieuwe capaciteitsovereenkomst nog zes andere tv-zenders van het bedrijf.
SES zond met zijn internationale satellietvloot aan het einde van 2015 een recordaantal van 7268 tv-zenders uit. Dit komt neer op een aanzienlijke groei van 11,3 procent in de afgelopen 12 maanden, tegen 2 procent in de rest van de satellietindustrie. Deze superieure prestatie heeft baat bij de doorgaande mondialisering van SES’ video-afdeling en groei in opkomende markten, zoals in Centraal- en Oost-Europa.
