CNN is changing transponders on Astra’s long-established 19.2 degrees East orbital slot. CNN International will end up with two options for viewers and which will depend on their satellite receivers. CNN has moved from transponder 28 (Frequency 11626 Vertical) to a new transmission frequency at 11778 Vertical and which will be in DVB-S2 mode. Astra has been broadcasting the new sites for CNN since last October, but recently added an on-screen ticker message on the old CNN frequency to alert viewers of the impending change. SES Astra’s 19.2 degrees East services are for mainland Europe.
