Agreement allows TV Catarina to tap into Intelsat’s global
distribution network to reach audiences in the Brazilian southern
state of Santa Catarina
Intelsat S.A. (NYSE: I), operator of the world’s first
Globalized Network and leader in integrated satellite
communications, announced that Brazilian regional television
broadcaster, TV Catarina, is the latest television programmer to
join Intelsat 14, the company’s new video neighborhood covering the
Latin America region.
Under the previously announced multi-year agreement, TV Catarina
will use C-band satellite services on Intelsat 14 in Santa
Catarina, a state in southern Brazil, to support the distribution
of television programming to UHF retransmission sites. TV Catarina
is a TV Bandeirantes affiliate, and one of the main regional
broadcasters in Brazil.
“When our customers watch programming on TV Catarina, they
receive content that is informative and entertaining, with a signal
quality that is clear and reliable,” said Renato Frassetto, TV
Catarina’s Technical Coordinator. “Intelsat’s satellite services
have a long history in the Latin America region, which means the
company truly understands our market. As the latest television
programmer to join Intelsat 14, we are benefitting from the reach
and high performance of this video neighborhood optimized for
high-definition programming which delivers broad coverage in Brazil
and reaches millions of viewers in the region.”
Intelsat 14, located at 315° East, expands Intelsat’s media
distribution leadership in the region, joining Intelsat 11,
Intelsat 21 and Intelsat 34 – content owners’ premier choice for
distributing top-tier sports, entertainment, news, and education
programming to more than 93 million viewers. Intelsat currently
delivers 77 of the 100 most watched channels in the region.
“This new collaboration opens the door for TV Catarina to
distribute high-quality, regional programming using an efficient
network infrastructure that is cost-effective, reliable and
flexible,” said Carmen Gonzalez-Sanfeliu, Intelsat’s Managing
Director, Latin America and Caribbean Sales. “Intelsat 14 is a
great demonstration of our commitment to developing powerful
neighborhoods that enable our customers to reach broader audiences
with premium content.”
