Algeria’s public broadcaster, Télédiffusion d’Algérie (TDA), has
extended its partnership with Eutelsat Communications (Euronext
Paris, London Stock Exchange: ETL) (Paris:ETL) (LSE:ETL), with an
increase in capacity on the EUTELSAT 7 West A satellite. This new
multi-year agreement will consolidate TDA’s TV and radio channels
at the 7/8° West orbital position, the country’s leading video
neighbourhood.
TDA currently broadcasts an extensive offer of some 26
free-to-air public and private television and radio channels in
both standard and high definition. The additional capacity at 7/8°
West will enable the company to enhance its content offering to
audiences across the country, and further afield across the Middle
East and North Africa. With an increased line-up of around 15
private channels, accessible on a pay-as-you-go basis, TDA will
deliver an enhanced end-user experience to better serve its
customers.
The 7/8° West orbital position is the leading satellite
neighbourhood for audiences in Algeria, reaching 97% of satellite
TV households, and the leading orbital position across the Middle
East and North Africa. Offering broadcasters, the largest exclusive
reach in the region, audiences prefer the 7/8° West video
neighbourhood thanks to its unparalleled line-up of around 900 TV
channels broadcasting from the 7/8° West orbital location.
Laurence Delpy, General Manager of the Video Business Unit,
Eutelsat, commented: “TDA is a long-standing partner of Eutelsat.
They were one of the first major broadcasting companies in the Arab
world to entrust us with their television and radio channels, and
we have been proud to support them in their broadcasting journey.
With this new commitment, we are delighted to continue to work with
them as they consolidate their offer at our vibrant 7/8 degrees
West video neighbourhood, delivering an enhanced user experience
for audiences across Algeria and beyond."
