Life Inspired Extends HD Service on Measat


10 June 2013

MEASAT Satellite Systems Sdn. Bhd. announced an agreement with Encompass Digital Media (“Encompass”) for a six year extension of LI TV INTERNATIONAL LIMITED (“Li TV”) distribution from MEASAT’s 91.5°E orbital hotslot. Playout of Li TV HD is provided by Encompass through their state-of-the-art broadcast facility in Singapore.

Distributed via MEASAT-3a since 2009, Li TV HD features a vibrant stable of high quality, first-run entertainment across five key programming pillars of Food, Home, Wellness, Travel and Style.

“Just as Li TV looks to bring inspired solutions to Asian’s aspiring consumers, at Encompass, we’re committed to helping Asia’s broadcasters offer the best and most comprehensive playout experience across this fast growing region. Our partnership with MEASAT is testament to Encompass’ commitment to bringing the best content and quality to viewers here,” said Deepakjit Singh, Managing Director, Asia, Encompass Digital Media.

“Having a strong, sound technical backbone is one of the key success factors for Li TV. Encompass and MEASAT have really stepped up to the plate in terms of providing effective solutions for us to stay lean and effective. We're very happy to be continuing this partnership as our channel expands across the Asia-Pacific region.” adds Anne Chan, General Manager, Li TV.

“We are delighted to continue supporting Li TV’s video distribution across the Asia Pacific region through Encompass,” said Jarod Lopez, Vice President, Broadcast Sales, MEASAT. “This service extension with MEASAT shows the confidence Li TV has in MEASAT and the strength of our 91.5°E HD video neighbourhood.”

MEASAT’s 91.5°E video neighborhood currently leads HD distribution across Asia with 39 channels, and will be adding new MCPC platforms at 91.5°E to support the growth of MEASAT’s HD channel distribution.
