Together they have an agreement to distribute two new channels, TV5Monde Asia and Travel Channel. The two new channels are being broadcasted across Asia, Australia and the Middle East via the MEASAT-3 satellite. MEASAT-3 is collocated with the MEASAT-3a satellite at the prime hot slot of 91.5 degrees East.
