Worldwide leader in video commerce extends
long-standing partnership to continue broadcasting multiple HD and
SD channels from SES’s prime 19.2 degrees East and 28.2/28.5
degrees East video neighbourhoods
Home shoppers across Germany, Austria and Switzerland as well as
the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland will continue to
receive an immersive, high-quality in-home shopping experience as
QVC Germany and QVC UK have extended their partnerships with SES in
multi-year agreements.
For QVC Germany, the extension secures capacity on SES’s prime
neighbourhood at the 19.2 degrees East for QVC HD, QVC2 HD and QVC
Style HD channels. For QVC UK, the extension secures capacity over
SES’s 28.2/28.5 degrees East satellites for QVC HD, QVC Style HD,
QVC Beauty and QVC Extra as well as ground services, including
uplinking, encoding and monitoring.
QVC is a world leader in video commerce (vCommerce), which
includes video-driven shopping across linear TV, ecommerce sites,
digital streaming and social platforms. Since the 1990s, QVC has
been leveraging SES’s satellites to broadcast their vCommerce
channels to audiences in markets around the world.
"The long-standing partnership with SES gives us the opportunity
to continue to inspire our viewers with interactive live
programming and attractive products," said Judith Haker, Director
Platform Development & Distribution at QVC International.
"Thanks to our extended agreements, we are able to address our
audience’s viewing habits and demand for in-home shopping
experiences by ensuring our HD and SD channels remain available on
all platforms across key European markets in the long term."
"QVC pioneered in-home shopping and continues to enhance the
vCommerce experience as an integral and convenient part of viewers
busy lives," said Norbert H�lzle, Global Head of Media at SES.
“These extensions also underscore the critical role satellite
distribution plays for direct-to-home TV service in terms of its
quality, reliability and reaching the widest audience
possible.”
Between its prime video neighbourhoods at 19.2 degrees East and
28.2/28.5 degrees East, SES reaches 177 million TV households,
representing 65% of all European TV households. Later this year,
SES will launch its state-of-the-art ASTRA 1P, a Ku-band, wide-beam
satellite to reinforce the 19.2 degrees East video neighbourhood,
further strengthening its position as a trusted partner for leading
media and entertainment providers.
