Turkish pay-TV platform Digiturk has renewed its satellite capacity with Eutelsat until 2021, announced both partners.

This long-term lease of 12 transponders intends to secure access to premium resources for delivering television, radio and interactive services to satellite homes across Turkey.

The Digiturk platform was launched in 2000 at 7° East and currently comprises more than 170 television channels, of which six broadcast in high-definition. Channels are delivered via the high-power regional beam on Eutelsat's W3A satellite.

“Launched in 2004, W3A has enabled Digiturk to build one of the largest pay-TV operators in the region, serving over 2.5 million subscriber homes,” the two added.
