SES and JioStar announced a new multi-year deal under which SES will provide satellite distribution services for JioStar’s portfolio of television channels across India and the Indian sub-continent using the IS-20 satellite.

The agreement enables JioStar to distribute its channels reliably to cable, DTH and broadcast distribution networks across the region, ensuring consistent, high-quality delivery to millions of households. By transitioning its services to SES’s IS-20 satellite, JioStar benefits from a resilient and future-ready broadcast platform with extensive coverage across India and South Asia.

IS-20 is part of SES’s established video neighborhood serving broadcasters, media companies, telecom operators and government customers across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Asia-Pacific region. Its advanced digital payload enhances service resilience while providing flexible C-band and Ku-band delivery capabilities for diverse broadcast and connectivity applications.

“JioStar is one of the most iconic and known media brands in India, and we are proud to support their regionwide broadcast operations,” said Deepak Mathur, President Media Vertical at SES. “With IS-20, JioStar can serve audiences across India and beyond with confidence, while benefiting from resilient infrastructure, strong performance and SES’s commitment to excellence. We look forward to building on this partnership in the years to come.”

“Our partnership with SES marks an exciting new chapter for JioStar as our bouquet of television channels continue to reach millions of homes across India, allowing viewers to continue accessing the content they love. We’re happy to expand our reach and continue delivering the high-quality programming that our audiences have come to expect of us over the years,” said Rajat Nigam, Head of Technology & Media Operations, JioStar.
