Mezzo Live HD Asia will soon be available in the Asia-Pacific region for the first time, after a deal between Globecast, MEASAT Satellite Systems Sdn. Bhd (“MEASAT”) and Mezzo to deliver the channel via the MEASAT-3 satellite.
Mezzo Live HD Asia is a new around-the-clock TV channel for the Asia-Pacific region. Dedicated to classical music, jazz and dance, the channel will broadcast some of the world's most prestigious concerts, operas, jazz and ballet. Broadcast in French, Mezzo Live HD Asia will be subtitled in 11 regional languages and adapted to the tastes of local markets in Asia to ensure it reaches the broadest audience across the region.
Soo Yew Weng, Senior Vice President of Sales of Globecast Asia, said, “Globecast prides itself on helping channels expand to new regions. To this end, we are happy to partner with Mezzo and MEASAT. For Mezzo to expand its presence and bring such high quality content to the Asia-Pacific is great news indeed.”
“MEASAT is pleased to expand its partnership with Globecast with the agreement to distribute Mezzo Live HD Asia across the Asia-Pacific,” said Raj Malik, Senior Vice President – Sales & Marketing, MEASAT. “Mezzo Live HD Asia’s addition to the 91.5°E video neighbourhood is a reflection of the growing popularity of HD content that is available over this region via our hotslot."
The MEASAT3/3a platform at 91.5°E covers 102 countries from Asia, Australia, the Middle East, Europe and Africa. The platform currently leads HD channel distribution in Asia with 47 channels.
Globecast receives the signal for Mezzo Live HD Asia at its technical operations centre in Paris. From there, the channel is sent via fibre to Globecast’s Hong Kong teleport for uplink onto the MEASAT-3 platform.
