The new Iranian satellite channel Kahkeshan Digisat TV has selected Europe Media Port (EMP) to provide direct-to-home uplink teleport and transmission services to Persian speaking viewers in the Middle East and Europe.
Playout services, uplink, turnaround and occasional use services are being offered to broadcasters by EMP via the Nemea teleport in Greece. “We are delighted to offer a customised DTH solution to the new channel Kahkeshan Digisat, broadcasting directly throughout its target regions and reaching a very wide audience on satellite” stated EMP’s Head of Sales and Marketing Dimitrios Papaharalabos.
Kahkeshan TV provides 24 hour programming with a schedule which includes documentaries, concerts, films, plays and literature. Its audience is aimed at Iranians living at home or abroad. The channel is now available on Hotbird at 13 degrees East and Hellas Sat at 39 degrees East via the Middle East beam.
“Kahkeshan TV is constantly looking for the best technological tools to provide high quality TV programmes. That is why we decided to collaborate with EMP,” said Jean Marc Sermier, Managing Director of Kahkeshan Digisat.
“We are proud to present programmes for Iranians, by Iranians and through Iranians. Kahkeshan TV is an entirely independent enterprise. We shall therefore remain open to all initiatives that will help us advance on our chosen path, that of transmission of free and independent ideas and programmes.”
