A long term agreement for multiple transponders...

SES (Euronext Paris and Luxembourg Stock Exchange: SESG) announced today that Canal+ Overseas, the international subsidiary of French payTV operator Canal+, has contracted multiple transponders and signed a long-term agreement for its subsidiary CANAL+ AFRIQUE in order to distribute the CANAL+/CANALSAT payTV bouquet of channels in Africa over the SES-4 satellite at the orbital location of 338 degrees East. CANAL+/CANALSAT is the first French-speaking payTV offer in Africa, distributed by CANAL+ AFRIQUE. The new contract with SES includes renewed and additional capacity and will allow Canal+ Overseas to extend its offer and migrate the payTV bouquet from the current NSS-7 spacecraft to the upcoming SES-4 satellite, without changing the orbital position and without a repointing of customer dishes. It ensures the long-term availability of the entire Canal+ Overseas programme line-up, standard definition as well as HD, via a single orbital position and to all of Canal+ Overseas
