Es’hailSat, Qatar’s satellite operator, has signed a multi-year, multi-transponder deal with the public broadcaster of Morocco, Société Nationale de Radiodiffusion et de Télévision (SNRT). The agreement includes Direct-to-Home (DTH) services, satellite transponder for Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT), as well as video contribution services at the 25.5° East orbital position, facilitated by the Es’hail-1 satellite. The Es’hailSat satellite footprint strategically encompasses the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, optimizing signal coverage and enabling significant viewership potential for the public broadcaster throughout this expansive area. This enhancement highlights Es’hailSat’s commitment to delivering a diverse range of content to satisfy regional demand.
It is important to note that the availability of the National Radio and Television Company's channel package on this satellite significantly enhances signal coverage, allowing for broader access to its programs across the Middle East and North Africa. This partnership between the two organizations reflects their shared commitment to offering diverse content that caters to regional preferences and demands.
“Es’hailSat is delighted to welcome SNRT Morocco and bring on board one of the region’s leading public broadcasters to our satellite hotspot,” said Mr. Ali Ahmed Al-Kuwari, President and CEO at Es’hailSat. “We believe that the diverse range of programming and depth of the channel bouquet offered by us at Es’hailSat aligns perfectly with SNRT’s vision to provide quality Moroccan content to audiences across the region.”
SNRT is now part of the Es’hailSat video neighborhood, which further adds to the attractive line up of premium content currently broadcasting via the Es’hail-1 and Es’hail-2 satellites.
