MEASAT Satellite Systems Sdn. Bhd. (“MEASAT”) has announced an agreement with Rock Entertainment Holdings for the distribution of Global Trekker HD via MEASAT-3a satellite.

The channel joins MEASAT’s HD video neighbourhood at 91.5°E for viewers across the Asia-Pacific.

Global Trekker is a premium channel which features a broad range of content that broadens one’s mind, heart, and soul. Here viewers get to explore the world, bringing them closer to nature and giving them insights to business success and how technology improves everyday lives.

“Since 2017, MEASAT has proudly served Rock Entertainment Holdings with its distribution of ROCK Entertainment, ROCK Extreme, ZooMoo and Smithsonian HD channels,” said Ganendra Selvaraj, Associate Vice President, Sales, MEASAT.

“The addition of Global Trekker HD on MEASAT’s platform will further enhance the variety of our HD channel bouquet, making us the preferred satellite operator for HD channel distribution in the region.”

The 91.5°E prime video hot slot is home to the MEASAT-3a and MEASAT-3b satellites, forming the region’s strongest video neighbourhood.

From 91.5°E, MEASAT supports broadcasters and DTH operators to distribute UHD, HD and SD channels to audiences across Asia, Australia, East Africa and Eastern Europe.

The MEASAT fleet will be further strengthened with the addition of MEASAT-3d in 2022.
