Leveraging Intelsat’s distribution platform, TBN programming
reaches more than 100 million U.S. viewers
Intelsat S.A. (NYSE: I), operator of the world’s first
Globalized Network and leader in integrated satellite
communications, and longtime customer Trinity Broadcasting Network
(TBN) signed a multi-year agreement to distribute high definition
(HD) and standard definition programming to cable head-ends
throughout North America.
Under the previously announced agreement, TBN, America’s
most-watched faith channel, will reach more than 100 million
households in the United States through Intelsat’s highly
penetrated Galaxy 14 video neighborhood. Galaxy 14 distributes more
than 200 channels in North America, with close to 100 channels in
HD. TBN’s programming will seamlessly transition to a
next-generation Galaxy satellite at the same orbital location over
the span of the long-term contract.
“Intelsat sets the industry standard for delivering reliable
media services that allow broadcasters to deliver programming that
attracts more viewers,” said Robert Fopma, TBN’s COO. “The
resiliency and high penetration rate of Intelsat’s Galaxy 14
neighborhood has been vital to our growth strategy and expanded our
audience base to reach our audience with our faith-based,
high-quality programs.”
“As the world’s largest religious network, Trinity Broadcasting
Network relies on the ubiquity of our Globalized Network to expand
to new markets and cost-effectively deliver programming to millions
of viewers,” said Randy Anders, Intelsat’s Managing Director, North
America Sales. “Our collaboration with TBN and its eagerness to
continue services well into the next decade is a great example of
the quality, reliability, and efficiency of our Galaxy 14
satellite, which reaches more subscribers than any other satellite
in the United States.”
