PRINCETON, N.J., Sept. 9, 2005/Satnews Daily/ — Deutsche Welle, a German government-sponsored broadcaster, has chosen SES Americom’s DigitalC platform aboard the AMC-1 satellite to deliver widely watched programming across America.
Under the multi-year agreement, SES Americom will receive DW-TV and DW-Radio content at its Digital Media Center in Woodbine, Maryland, where the content is then processed for affordable digital distribution on the DigitalC platform. Deutsche Welle programming is then uplinked to the AMC-1 spacecraft and delivered to cable headends and ultimately millions of German-, English-, and Spanish-speaking television viewers and radio listeners from coast to coast.
Deutsche Welle produces and provides international news and feature coverage, with one of Europe's most advanced broadcast centers at its headquarters in Bonn, Germany. Vast and varied audiences across the U.S., from Germans and ex-patriots to Americans and a growing Spanish-speaking population, depend on Deutsche Welle for news and feature broadcasts covering world events. It also delivers news from home to Germans and ex-patriots living in America, and an alternative global information source for millions of others across the country.
SES Americom's sister company, SES Astra, distributes Deutsche Welle radio and television programming across Europe over its Astra satellite system at 19.2-degrees East.
