Eutelsat Communications has confirmed the signature of a contract with MultiChoice Africa, the pioneer in multi-channel pay-TV across sub-Saharan Africa.
MultiChoice has signed for a total 20 Ku-band transponders for 15 years on Eutelsat’s new W7 satellite that is now operating at the 36 degrees East position.
The relationship between the two companies began in 2000 with the positioning of Eutelsat’s W4 satellite at 36 degrees East to support MultiChoice’s DStv platform which now reaches into more than 800,000 homes in sub-Saharan Africa. This new agreement extends to 2025.
