Beijing, 10 September 2009- GlobeCast has launched four additional channels for Chinese broadcaster CCTV on its platform on EUROBIRD™ 9A satellite for pan-European coverage. CCTV-4, CCTV Español (Spanish), CCTV Russian and CCTV Arabia now have access to a potential audience of 300 million households.

GlobeCast’s solution for CCTV includes fibre delivery to its Brookmans Park facility outside London, where the channels are uplinked to the EUROBIRD™ 9A satellite at 9°E.

CCTV is the latest major broadcaster to join GlobeCast’s platform on EUROBIRD™ 9A. In June of this year, GlobeCast announced the migration of BBC Prime to the satellite, which shares a broadcast neighborhood with market-leader HOT BIRD™. The satellite provides comprehensive Direct-to-Home coverage of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.

GlobeCast has a long and successful relationship with CCTV, most recently distributing CCTV Arabia to the Middle East and North Africa on BADR-6.
