  • National Broadcasting Company, Owner of Russia's
    PR/13/07 NATIONAL BROADCASTING COMPANY, OWNER OF RUSSIA’S TRICOLOR TV PLATFORM, LAUNCHES 12 PAY-TV CHANNELS ON EUTELSAT W4 SATELLITE [* Correction: the decoders to receive channels in the Tricolor platform are developed by Digi Raum (www.digiraum.com) and not General Satellite as indicated in initial release.] Paris, 7 May 2007 Russian broadcaster National Broadcasting Company today announced the launch of 12 new channels on the W4 satellite of Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL) in order to expand development of its Tricolor television platform. The channels have been launched following signature in 1 February 2007 of a contract for the lease of a second transponder on W4 between Eutelsat and RSCC, acting on behalf of National Broadcasting Company. Launched in Russia in 2005 as a free package of 15 encrypted channels accessed via a decoder developed by Digi Raum*, the Tricolor platform today serves an audience of 800,000 homes. With buoyant receiver sales since the beginning of 2007, Tricolor forecasts audience growth to 1.2 million homes by the end of the year. Tricolor’s main target are the estimated 50 million viewers in western parts of Russia (up to and including the Urals) living in rural areas with limited offer of channels through terrestrial reception. The platform was launched in November 2005 on one transponder on Eutelsat’s W4 satellite as a subscription-free digital package of Russian national and regional channels with the only cost being the receiver. Boosted by rapid receiver sales, Tricolor is now moving into the second phase of its development with the launch of 12 new channels available in low-cost thematic packages.
