The new Ethiosat platform is launching on SES hosting a number of Ethiopia’s local channels. This has been made possible by agreements between the Association of Ethiopian Broadcasters (AEB), the Ethiopian Broadcasting Corporation (EBC), and satellite operator SES. Ethiosat is located on SES’s NSS-12 satellite at 57 degrees East and delivers over 30 channels for Ethiopian audiences, with 12 of those channels already in HD quality. Fissehazion said, “We believe consolidating all Ethiopian TV channels and broadcasting them from one orbital position will fuel growth in the Ethiopian media sector, as local networks will now be able to easily expand their audience reach. This will allow them to receive the content from SES’s NSS-12 satellite.
