Canal Satellite Reunion boosts capacity on Eutelsat W2 for Pay-TV

Eutelsat Communications has signed a multi-year contract with Canal Satellite Reunion, which is a subsidiary of Canal Overseas (Canal + Group). The capacity on Eutelsat’s W2 satellite will support the expansion of the Canal Satellite Reunion pay-TV platform which broadcasts channels and services to satellite homes in Reunion Island and surrounding islands in the Indian Ocean.

Using a high-power beam on W2, optimised by Eutelsat for coverage of Indian Ocean islands, the platform broadcasts over 60 channels to homes equipped for Direct-to-Home reception. The line-up includes seven new thematic channels launched this month: Du côte de chez vous, Ushuaia TV, Kanal Austral, MTV Music, Extreme Sports Channel, Game One and Private Spice.
