GlobeCast, the global content management and delivery company, is broadcasting Arab-language radio station RMC Moyen-Orient, a subsidiary of Radio France Internationale (RFI), via its digital platform on the Arabsat 2D satellite operated in partnership with satellite operator Arabsat.
Located at 25.8°E, the Arabsat 2D platform provides this entertainment channel with exceptional coverage of Middle East and Northern Africa. It now benefits from an audience of up to 31 million homes via satellite, as well as millions of FM radio listeners, thanks to the many microwave transmitters throughout the region that are fed by this satellite.
Arabsat is handling the reception of the signal in Tunis, where it is downlinked from the W3 satellite. RMC Moyen-Orient is then inserted onto transponder 154 of the Arabsat 2D satellite, operated by GlobeCast in partnership with Arabsat. The result is a wide distribution throughout North Africa and the Middle East.
Created in 1972, RMC Moyen-Orient is a generalist radio station which broadcasts in Arabic. A subsidiary of RFI since 1996, RMC Moyen-Orient boasts an estimated audience of 15 million listeners throughout the Middle East, Persian Gulf and North African regions.
