North African channel chooses GlobeCast solution

GlobeCast has announced the launch of a North African channel called nessma via satellite. The channel is now available via DTH satellite reception throughout the MENA region. Nessma will also have access to GlobeCast’s Content Exchange service, an IP-based video exchange and collaboration tool. The channel’s programming will be carried via Arabsat’s BADR-4 satellite at 26°East and on Nilesat 102 at 7°West.

Nessma, part of the Karoui & Karoui World group of channels, has aroused considerable interest with the North African public as it is the first channel in that area to broadcast ‘Star Academy’.

The channel also aims to promote North African culture and focuses on a young and family-orientated public.

The programmes, which includes game-shows, entertainment and reality TV programmes, films, series, talk shows and magazine programmes, as well as sport and music, will be broadcast in the North African dialects and French.

GlobeCast is managing a seamless broadcast service for nessma, including fibre connectivity from Paris to its Madrid teleport, where it provides uplink and space capacity on Arabsat’s BADR-4 and Nilesat 102.
