Eutelsat Group (ISIN: FR0010221234 - Euronext Paris / London
Stock Exchange: ETL) (Paris:ETL) (LSE:ETL), announces that StarTV,
one of Mexico’s leading DTH operators, has selected the EUTELSAT
117 West B satellite for the deployment of StarFlix, its new video
streaming service.
This latest multi-year, multi-transponder capacity agreement
will enable StarTV to offer an innovative new streaming and
on-demand service to customers with a wide variety of quality
content, in complement to its Direct-to-Home service. Available
from mid-March, viewers across Mexico, even in rural areas beyond
terrestrial connectivity, will be able to enjoy the StarFlix
service, with a wide range of programs and movies streamed to their
screens via satellite.
The agreement builds on the long-standing relationship between
Eutelsat Group and Star TV which already leverages EUTELSAT 117
West A and EUTELSAT 117 West B satellites. Its rapidly growing DTH
service offers a diversified portfolio of packages catering for all
budgets, with well over 100 TV channels, and almost half a million
subscribers.
Monica Aguirre, Deputy CEO of StarTV said: "We are delighted to
rely on our partner, Eutelsat to launch this innovative new service
for viewers in Mexico. We aim to provide universal access to our
innovative OTT via broadcast service, StarFlix, even in regions
lacking internet coverage or facing financial constraints. StarTV
has grown rapidly in recent years to position itself as one of
Mexico’s leading broadcasters, and we are excited to add Starflix
to complement our line-up of offers."
Jose Ignacio Gonzalez Nunez, SVP Media Americas, added “We are
honoured to extend our relationship with StarTV with the selection
of EUTELSAT 117 West B for its major streaming platform in the
Mexican market. This latest deal showcases the dynamism to the
Mexican broadcast market as well as the ongoing role of satellite
in enabling television operators to reach the widest possible
audience. We look forward to supporting StarTV as their innovative
business and offerings continue to grow.”
