TV president and founder Michel Adam says, “Following the successful launch
of our HD service in Europe, we are delighted to work with AsiaSat, our long-term
partner, to continue to roll out FTV HD in Asia. We have been using AsiaSat satellite
for our Asian services since 1998, and Asiasat has proved itself to be a highly
valued satellite partner over the years. We are pleased to further extend our
relationship through distributing both our high definition and standard definition
channels on AsiaSat satellites.
“Taking the opportunity that many pay TV platforms in Asia are rapidly expanding
their HD offerings as their differentiating feature, we have successfully concluded
carriage arrangements with several major Asian platform operators prior to our
official launch of service.” Asiasat
CEO Pweter Jackson says, “We are very pleased to welcome FTV HD on board
AsiaSat 2. FTV’s extension of services on AsiaSat satellites has again demonstrated
broadcaster confidence in AsiaSat to be the ideal satellite platform for distribution
service in Asia Pacific. "
This new HD channel is an exciting addition to AsiaSat’s HD service offering.
We shall continue our efforts to grow our HD neighbourhood on AsiaSat to meet
the fast growing demand from Asian TV platform operators for HD services in the
region”. |
