PARIS, LAS VEGAS — Eutelsat Communications (NYSE Euronext Paris: ETL) is carrying out a far-reaching antenna seeding programme to allow broadcasters across the Americas to enhance their reach and cable operators to enrich their offer via Eutelsat’s premium video neighbourhoods at65° West and 113/117° West.

The programme is boosting opportunities for broadcasters to distribute their content and will further anchor the EUTELSAT 113 West A and EUTELSAT 117 West A satellites in Latin America’s cable market with 100% penetration of tier 1 and 2 operators, representing over 32 million homes. Through the same initiative, EUTELSAT 65 West A is poised to achieve 100% penetration of Brazilian cable operators, allowing Eutelsat’s key satellite for Brazil to reach over 18 million homes.
