\u201cThe <\/em>iKOMG<\/em> dedication to providing high-quality religious content globally aligns perfectly with Intelsat\u2019s mission to support and grow new opportunities for content providers,\u201d said <\/strong><\/em>Rhys Morgan<\/strong><\/em>, RVP EMEA region, <\/strong><\/em>Intelsat<\/strong><\/em>.<\/strong> \u201cThis renewal underscores the enduring relevance of linear TV and free-to-air platforms such as Galaxy 19, demonstrating its continued importance for the North American audience.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

This deal uses Intelsat\u2019s Galaxy 19 (G-19) satellite, a premier free-to-air, direct-to-home neighborhood that provides broadcasters with a powerful platform to reach diverse audiences across North America. G-19 provides 5.7 million viewers with access to more than 110 channels, originating from 35 countries in over 20 languages. In addition to prominent faith-based programming, G-19 is home to premium entertainment, news, and free-ad-supported streaming content.<\/p>\n

Intelsat recently announced audience measurement capabilities to its enhanced VideoNow electronic program guide (EPG) for G-19, representing a significant step toward ad-monetization in the direct-to-home (DTH) free-to-air (FTA) satellite video market. Unlike broadband-dependent services, G-19 is capable of reaching all households in North America, ensuring content is accessible regardless of internet reliability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
