MUMBAI:
Brazilian Catholic channel TV Canção Nova, along
with teleport SatLink Communications, has announced today
the TV channel's launch into the Asian market on SatLink's
Asiasat 2 MCPC platform.
With
the Vatican’s representatives in the Holy Land (Custodia
di Terra Santa) already connected to SatLink’s teleport
via fibre optics, this move is yet another step in the growing
relationship between the two.
TV
Canção Nova is already globally present on a
range of satellites, but the channel’s launch to Asiasat
2 is its first step into Asia-Pacific region. The channel
says that it maintains a differentiated programming in the
television scene, with spirituality, journalism, children’s
programmes, events, interviews, discussions, music, entertainment,
culture and promotional programmes.
Canção
Nova Community founder and president Monsignor Jonas Abib
says, “To be on Asiasat 2 is a historic mark not only
for Canção Nova but for the whole Catholic Church
in the world. We’re proud to be able to spread out the
principles of peace, love, happiness and hope to the people
of all Asian countries."
Satlink CEO David Hochner said, “We’re excited to
play such a crucial role in introducing TV Canção
Nova to the Asian market and look forward to continuing this
successful relationship. Our Asiasat 2 MCPC platform gives
channels the opportunity to penetrate this region with outstanding
results, and we’re glad to take TV Canção
Nova there."
