Hong Kong, [xx] 2018 – Asia Satellite Telecommunications Company Limited (AsiaSat) is providing its full range of high-powered satellite capacity to Globecast including its new AsiaSat 9 to satisfy Globecast’s expanding Occasional Use (OU) service needs. Globecast recognises the growing demand for upcoming distribution of major sports and news events, and the new technologies adopted by AsiaSat across its fleet will facilitate meeting that demand.

Both companies as market leaders in their respective sectors, are in a positive position to leverage each other’s strengths to address market needs, and will see an even closer partnership in delivering some of the upcoming major sports tournaments and news events, including [xxxxxx].
