SES WORLD SKIES, a division of SES S.A. (Euronext Paris and Luxembourg Stock Exchange: SESG), has announced a new capacity deal on two SES satellites with transmission and live production provider Pacific Television Center aimed at expanding and enhancing the delivery of Trinity Broadcasting Networks’ (TBN) Christian-based programming around the world. TBN is the world’s largest religious network and America’s most watched and requested faith channel. As part of the five-year agreement, Pacific Television Center is using MPEG-4 technology and capacity on a global C-band transponder aboard SES’ NSS-9 satellite to distribute Trinity’s 4 channels of network programming to audiences across the Pacific Ocean Region. Pacific Television Center is also leveraging C-band capacity aboard the NSS-5 spacecraft, enabling Trinity to reach viewers in the Americas, Africa, Europe and the Middle East. Pacific Television Center is using 24MHz of capacity aboard the two advanced satellites.
