- SES ASTRA, an SES company (Euronext Paris and Luxembourg Stock Exchange: SESG), has signed a long-term agreement with M7 Group for an additional transponder on ASTRA 23.5 East. The capacity will be used for the continued transmission of Dutch regional broadcasters as well as for additional HD services. The Luxembourg-based M7 Group provides DTH services to more than one million homes in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and Austria using the brand names CanalDigitaal, TV Vlaanderen, TéléSAT and AustriaSat. This agreement represents already the fifth ASTRA 23.5 East transponder that M7 Group contracted with SES ASTRA since the introduction of ASTRA 23.5 East in 2007 as new hot spot for the Benelux market. In addition, M7 Group operates four transponders at ASTRA 19.2 East.
- dB Broadcast, one of the U.K.’s largest systems integrators, has selected the Snell Kahuna HD/SD multi-format production switchers as central components in the BBC‘s Broadcasting House redevelopment in central London, W1. Installed in each of the four largest studios in the W1 centre, the Kahunas will drive live news programs and support a seamless migration to HD operations for the world’s largest broadcasting organization. The newly developed Broadcasting House will host one of the world’s largest newsrooms. The Kahunas will see heavy service in three fixed-rig studios and one flexible-rig studio, switching all incoming content and clips for the 24-hour World Service and News Channel broadcasts, but will still draw from many sources that exist in SD and other formats — thus making the Kahuna’s multi-format capabilities crucial. In addition to the four Kahunas, the W1 campus will feature two Snell Sirius 850 1152×1152 routers.
