[Satellite TODAY 04-20-12] RTL Germany has signed a deal with operator SES to increase its broadcasting capacity at the 19.2 degrees East orbital slot by one additional transponder, SES confirmed April 19.
Starting in May, RTL Germany will use a former analogue transponder on the Astra satellite system to expand its HD channel offer and broadcast the Austrian versions of RTL HD, RTL 2 HD and VOX HD via HD Austria, the HD-program platform of M7 Group’s AustriaSat.
The Super RTL HD channel also will be carried on this transponder and join the HD Plus platform in Germany. SES concluded an agreement with RTL in March to provide additional capacity for the transmission of the new free-to-air entertainment channel RTL Nitro.
