I Just checked and there is a definite drop in Transponder power a rough estimate would be around 3-4db at least, So i suppose for some people this could be the margin needed for reception.

We have seen something similar before on 10° east with MUTV a real low drop in TP power and then a few months later a boost of almost 6db signal strengh

There will be a new satellite for 15w called Telstar 12 VANTAGE and scheduled to be launched later this year. https://www.telesat.com/our-fleet#telstar-12v
But i dont like its coverage and power... Long live to Telstar 12! It is still alive and kicking since 1999!
P.S. both espn works fine atm maybe signal alittle lower.

Telstar 12V 15° West is scheduled for launch this year as Telstar12 is nearing the end of its lifespan, there was a news post about it here:
