Russia Today has launched in Asia, calling on GlobeCast for full-time fibre delivery to the region. The launch of this leading Russian broadcaster will allow millions of viewers across Asia to watch the latest news concerning politics, business, entertainment and public affairs from Russia, Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

GlobeCast picks up Russia Today’s feed at its London Technical Operations Centre and delivers the channel over its newly-upgraded fibre network to its teleport in Singapore. From there, the signal is sent via fibre to Hong Kong for uplink by Pacific Century Matrix (PCM) to its platform on the AsiaSat3S satellite.

This Asian launch is just the latest in a series of geographic expansions of the channel’s broadcast footprint. GlobeCast already delivers Russia Today worldwide, on the ASTRA satellite for DTH over Europe, on NSS-806 for Latin American distribution, and on EUROBIRD for the Sky platform in the UK and Ireland.

Russia’s first 24/7 English-language news channel presents the Russian perspective on events happening in Russia and around the globe. The channel is available on main satellite platforms and cable networks across Europe, reaching more than 100 million pay TV viewers in Europe, North America and South Africa. It can also be viewed live 24 hours a day on the internet.

GlobeCast has been chosen by the new French international news channel, FRANCE 24, to carry out its broadcast by satellite throughout Europe, Africa and the Middle East.


GlobeCast’s satellite platforms, based in key orbital positions, will provide FRANCE 24 with access to several million television households throughout the world.


When it launches, FRANCE 24 will cover these regions with two channels, one entirely in French and the second carrying primarily English-language programming. Programs in Arabic will be added in mid-2007 and in Spanish in 2008.


GlobeCast will supply FRANCE 24 with an end-to-end solution, which will include the reception of programming in Paris, multiplexing, uplink and capacity services on the following platforms:


-ASTRA at 19.2° East (Europe)
-EUROBIRD at 28.5° East (United Kingdom and Ireland)
-NSS7 at 22° East (Africa)
-ArabSat-Badr at 26° East (Middle East)
-Nilesat at 7° West (Middle East)


FRANCE 24 chose GlobeCast for its renowned expertise in the delivery of television channels throughout the world, as well as its presence on five continents. Working independently vis-à-vis satellite operators, GlobeCast is “network agnostic” and not limited to providing capacity from a single satellite fleet. This permitted GlobeCast to bundle capacities in this first launch phase from five unique satellite operators into a multi-continental delivery platform for FRANCE 24.


FRANCE 24 is scheduled to launch between 25 November and 5 December 2006. The channel represents a 50/50 partnership between the public television group France Televisions and the French commercial channel TF1.
