Eutelsat has announced three new broadcast deals this week in Mexico and the Caribbean. The satellite operator is to partner with Co-op Cable, introducing an expanded direct-to-home (DTH) and connectivity offering across the Caribbean using the Eutelsat 65 West A (E65WA) satellite. Eutelsat announced this deal, April 21.
Co-op Cable aims to enhance its service portfolio to deliver bundled television and internet services, combining high-quality satellite TV distribution with advanced GEO-based connectivity. The solution is designed to address the growing demand for reliable entertainment and broadband services across the region, particularly in areas where traditional infrastructure remains limited.
“As we look ahead, we are excited to be working with Eutelsat to extend this partnership beyond video into satellite broadband, with the goal of bridging the digital divide in the Caribbean by delivering affordable, reliable internet connectivity to even the most remote communities. This is just the beginning of what we believe will be a long and impactful relationship,” Richard Rawlins, CEO of Co-op Cable, said in a statement.
Eutelsat also reached two broadcasting deals in Mexico, a renewal with PCTV and an agreement with Cadena Tres.
Eutelsat signed a renewal with content aggregation and distribution company PCTV for continued distribution of its video services via the Eutelsat 117 West A (E117WA) satellite. PCTV is a central player in Mexico’s pay-TV ecosystem and will continue to leverage E117WA to deliver national and international channels to cable headends across Mexico and the region.
In addition, Cadena Tres, part of Grupo Imagen, also signed for distribution over the E117WA satellite. Cadena Tres is Mexico’s third-largest national TV network.
With these agreements, Eutelsat hosts virtually all of Mexico’s most important public and private broadcasters within its video neighborhood, consolidating E117WA for television distribution in Mexico.
