Al Jazeera Media Network has launched an HD bouquet on Qatar’s Es’hail-1 satellite, located at 25.5° East for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
The satellite, which began transmissions in 2013, is currently carrying HD versions of Al Jazeera Arabic and Al Jazeera English news channels, with Al Jazeera Mubasher and Al Jazeera Documentary Channel coming soon.
“We are delighted that Al Jazeera Media Networks has once again entrusted Es’hail-1 to broadcast their premium content to the MENA region. A growing number of established and new channels are choosing Es’hail-1, at the leading hotspot for TV content, for the distribution of their channels in MENA,” said Ali Ahmed Al Kuwari, president and CEO, Es’hailSat.
“With Es’hail-1 in operation and Es’hail-2 on schedule to be launched in Q4 2016, we are ideally placed to support the continued growth and expansion of the media sector by providing premium content, communications independence, quality of service and market penetration.”
