Joyne to begin broadcasts on 24 July
Multi-channel TV venture Joyne will broadcast on the Eutelsat 9B satellite as its platform to reach viewers in the Netherlands and across Europe.
Joyne, a new multi-channel TV venture for Dutch viewers and the country’s recreational market, has signed a multi-year, multi-transponder contract with Eutelsat Communications and is preparing to officially launch on 24 July.
Using Eutelsat’s Paris-Rambouillet teleport for uplink services, the new platform will begin with a diverse mix of pay and free-to-air channels with a strong accent on sport. It will feature 30 well-known Dutch and international channel brands including Fox Sports HD channels and Discovery Networks Benelux.
Viewers will be able to receive the DTH service with Conax Contego Cam cards and dishes starting from 45cm. They will also be able to tap into content at adjacent video neighbourhoods.
The monthly subscription option, which gives subscribers access to the full suite of Joyne programming, will be available from EUR13 per month. Flexible short-term subscriptions, from one month, will also be available for Dutch viewers with second homes and mobile homes as well, as special offers for public spaces in camping sites and bars.
Eutelsat said the new contract with Joyne reflects the efficiency of satellites for targeting language communities and for extending access to premium pay-TV content for the many viewers who want short-term seasonal solutions.
