The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has renewed long-term lease agreements with Asia Satellite Telecommunications (AsiaSat) to use C-band capacity on AsiaSat 2. Financial terms were not disclosed.

The EBU uses the AsiaSat 2 capacity to transmit regular and ad hoc live video contribution feeds for its members and customers between Asia, Australasia and Europe through its Eurovision Network. This network carries sports events such as the Olympic Games, European national and international soccer and world news feeds.
