The agreement between UBI and Optus was signed recently by UBI President and CEO Regina Boulos and Optus’ Head of Satellite Paul Sheridan.
The switch of UBI’s digital signal from the Optus B3 satellite to the new generation Optus D2 satellite was completed recently. The D2 satellite was launched in October 2007 as part of Optus’ overall investment in the D-series three satellite program costing over A$600 million.
UBI World TV is now broadcasting 113 TV and radio channels in 12 languages, including English, using the Optus D2 satellite, across Australia, Asia, Africa, and recently New Zealand, where UBI’s service was launched to great consumer interest in February 2008. |
