SES has announced an extension of its partnership with Sky to continue service provision across the UK and Ireland into the next decade.
Building on the companies’ longstanding partnership, the multi-year agreement for direct-to-home (DTH) satellite services will enable Sky to continue leveraging SES’s satellite capacity at the 28.2 degrees East orbital position, providing coverage for millions of households.
Commenting, Sky’s group chief operating officer, Nick Herm, said, “As we give customers more choice in how they access Sky, satellite continues to play an important role in how we deliver our services to customers across the UK and Ireland. This agreement with SES provides the reliability, reach and service quality we need to continue delivering the viewing experience our satellite customers expect.”
“Sky has been a valued partner of SES for nearly four decades, and this agreement marks another important milestone in our relationship while reinforcing our commitment to the UK and Ireland market,” said Deepak Mathur, president media vertical at SES.
“This significant multi-year renewal demonstrates the confidence that leading broadcasters continue to place in satellite. It remains an effective way to deliver premium content at scale, providing the reach, reliability and resilience broadcasters depend on while delivering exceptional viewing experiences to millions of households.”
