| According to a company release, transponder
space has already been booked on Insat 3A .
Besides being used in house, the teleport would also cater to other
channels using Insat 3A as a platform. Insat 3A is fast emerging
as a popular Hot-Bird over India. This would be the first private
satellite TV teleport in Mumbai, says the release.
According to Channel Guide managing director Rajesh Jain, the company
has already received serious enquiries from prospective customers.
Besides Channel Guide's teleport, the only other teleport in Mumbai
is VSNL's teleport, which caters to Thaicom Clients
While the company is in the process of zeroing in on suitable location
for setting up the teleport, the company has already assembled state
of the art back-end facilities like shooting floor / studio for
live broadcasts and tape-less play out matching international teleports
to which Indian broadcasters have been accustomed to, the release
states.
The teleport would also be available for occasional users/SNG services.
Channel Guide hopes to commission the services within the next two
to three months.
