African channels choose Globecast for distribution

African channels Benie TV and Ouest TV have chosen Globecast to distribute their programming via satellite to new audiences in West Africa.

The two channels are now part of the Canalsat bouquet delivered on the SES-4 satellite, with Globecast providing transmission services.

“Viewers in French-speaking African countries are hungry for news programming and specialized content, so joining SES-4 platform is a tremendous opportunity for Benie TV and Ouest TV,” said Lionel Antoine, sales manager Africa for Globecast.

“The diversity of CANALSAT offer and our leadership position in the African market, enable us to provide the service levels these channels need to achieve a maximum visibility with their target audiences.”
