Line-up of 30 channels available from 24 July through
EUTELSAT 9B’s powerful European footprint
Regulatory News:
Joyne, a new multi-channel TV venture for Dutch viewers and the
country’s recreational market, has selected the EUTELSAT 9B
satellite as its platform to reach viewers in the Netherlands and
across Europe. Joyne has signed a multi-year, multi-transponder
contract with Eutelsat Communications (Paris:ETL) and is preparing
to officially launch on 24 July, using Eutelsat’s Paris-Rambouillet
teleport for uplink services.
The new platform will begin with a diverse mix of pay and
free-to-air channels with a strong accent on sport. It will feature
30 well-known Dutch and international channel brands including Fox
Sports HD channels and Discovery Networks Benelux. Using the
powerful pan-European beam on EUTELSAT 9B viewers will be able to
receive the DTH service with Conax Contego Cam cards and dishes
starting from 45cm. They will also be able to tap into content at
adjacent video neighbourhoods.
The monthly subscription option, which gives subscribers access
to the full suite of Joyne programming, will be available from €13
per month. Joyne’s competitive proposition is also based on
flexible short-term subscriptions, from one month, for Dutch
viewers with second homes and mobile homes as well as special
offers for public spaces in camping sites and bars.
Hans Brunas, CEO of Joyne, said, “The new Joyne brand stands for
connection and the pleasure afforded by quality entertainment. Our
new proposition will be distinctive for TV quality, broad reception
across Europe and flexibility in subscriptions. With these criteria
at the centre of our ambition it is a logical choice to select
Eutelsat as our satellite platform and we look forward to a long
cooperation.”
Michel Azibert, Chief Commercial and Development Officer of
Eutelsat, added: “This new contract with Joyne on EUTELSAT 9B
reflects the efficiency of satellites for targeting language
communities and for extending access to premium pay-TV content for
the many viewers who want short-term seasonal solutions. It marks
the first step in a partnership with a new European player that
places exceptional flexibility at its core.”
