Clear Sky ahead with SES satellite contract extension

The contract extension builds on the longstanding relationship between the companies

SES has announced it has renewed its contract with Sky.

The multi-year agreement extends the partnership which provides satellite capacity enabling Sky to deliver programming to Sky Q subscribers in the UK and Ireland.

SES will boost the capacity for multiple transponders until 2029, as well as extend the provision of back-up services from its prime video neighbourhood of 28.2/28.5 degrees East until the end of 2027, said the company. SES satellites at the orbital position deliver a wide range of channels to more than 17 million households across the two countries.

Nick Herm, chief business officer at Sky, commented, “We’re pleased to continue our long-standing collaboration with SES, reinforcing our commitment to providing the best viewing experience to all customers – whether they’re watching on our much-loved Sky Q satellite platform, or over our IP products, Glass and Stream. This contract renewal provides us with the reliability we need to continue to deliver our market-leading TV offer and broad mix of channels to Sky Q customers across the UK and Ireland.
