GlobeCast launches DW-TV ASIA+ on new satellite platform for Asia-Pacific viewers

GlobeCast announced today that it has launched its second MCPC platform on the AsiaSat 3S satellite. Leading European broadcaster Deutsche Welle is the new transponder’s first client.

The new C-band platform on AsiaSat 3S, located at 105.5° E with a footprint covering the Middle East to East Asia, Australia and New Zealand, is a premium broadcast platform for the Asia-Pacific region reaching a potential audience of over 95 million households.

DW-TV ASIA+, Deutsche Welle’s new second free-to-air Asian channel, broadcasts a variety of lifestyle, cultural, arts and in-depth business and politics programmes around-the-clock with 18 hours of programming in English. The new channel complements DW-TV’s feed on GlobeCast’s existing AsiaSat 3S MCPC platform.

From GlobeCast’s point of presence in Frankfurt, DW-TV ASIA+ is delivered via GlobeCast’s international RIBU fibre network to the company’s Hong Kong teleport for uplink to AsiaSat 3 and distribution to the entire Asian-Pacific region.
