Spacecom, the operator of the AMOS satellite fleet, has announced that the AMOS-5 satellite has won a multi-year contract to transmit Nigerias new Pay TV platform from African Cable TV (ACTV). From its 17 E orbital position, the satellite will send ACTVs signals to viewers throughout Nigeria over its Ku-1 beam.

ACTV is a new digital pay TV platform offering over 60 channels to Nigerian viewers which significantly strengthens the 16-17 East position, already the leading DTH and free-to-air video neighbourhood in West Africa. This will improve the quality and effectiveness of broadcasting services to the region and deliver viewers a larger channel line-up from one virtual orbital position.

Godfrey Okreh, CEO of ACTV said, Creating the ACTV platform is an exciting project and with the support of AMOS-5 at 17 E we look forward to an exciting future. Our viewers in Nigeria deserve choice, and we at ACTV are giving them new and stimulating offerings for their pleasure.

Eitan Mesika, Spacecoms VP sales West Africa commented, ACTV is primed to become a force of change in Nigerias communications sector and Spacecom is pleased to be their choice for satellite services. AMOS-5 at 17 E reaches all of Nigeria with its strong signal. Our team business approach enables our ACTV partners to focus on their competitive advantages in the market.
