GIobeCast has launched a new satellite distribution platform for new digital cable television networks in North America on Galaxy 10R from the companys Los Angeles broadcast center. GlobeCasts service uses C-Band transponder capacity on PanAmSats Galaxy 10R satellite, part of the Galaxy cable neighborhood of satellites. The Galaxy 10R satellite offers access to most cable head-ends in the U.S., allowing cable operators to receive GlobeCast platform channels via existing downlink antennas.
Networks joining GlobeCasts multiplex service will share the same cable orbital position with established programmers on Galaxy 10R including: A&E, DMX Music, Toon Disney, ESPN News, ESPN HD, Lifetime, CMT (West), MTV (West), Nickelodeon (West), Showtime (West), Showtime Westplex, The Movie Channel and Flix (West), TVN and The Outdoor Channel.
Channels can access GlobeCasts new Galaxy 10R platform in America via local points-of-presence in New York, Washington DC, and Miami, or worldwide via the companys global fiber network, which interconnects 15 teleports and technical operations centers on five continents. In America, in addition to Galaxy 10R, GlobeCast operates a cable network distribution platform on the AMC-1 satellite from the companys studio, post-production, and network origination center in Miami. Leading American cable networks such as CNN, Discovery, Viacom, Turner International, TV Guide, USA Networks, Sci-Fi, Home & Garden TV, and MGM rely on GlobeCasts satellite distribution and services in America and internationally.
