MEASAT To Provide History Channel HD



27 August 2008

MEASAT Satellite Systems Sdn Bhd has been signed with GlobeCast to distribute the signal for The History Channel HD via the MEASAT-3 satellite.

The History Channel HD will broadcast 100 percent HD content, and will offer a separate schedule from the standard definition service. The channel will offer a variety of programmes in high definition, including Cities of the Underworld, The Universe, Ax Men, Dogfights, Ancient Discoveries, and Ice Road Truckers.

“The History Channel HD will be the third HD channel included in the bouquet of channels offered on MEASAT-3,” said Terry Bleakley, Vice President, Commercial Operations, MEASAT. “The addition of this HD channel puts MEASAT at the forefront of HD distribution among Asian Satellite Operators.”
