April 10, 2014 11.06 Europe/London By Robert Briel
Satellite operator Hispasat signed an agreement with Overon to provide TV signal distribution services from its Amazonas 1 satellite.
The 2014 World Cup will be telecast across Europe and America via the Hispasat Group’s Amazonas 1 satellite, which will provide TV channel services transmitting the World Cup games.
The agreement provides to Overon 8 Amazonas 1 satellite transponders, connecting Brazil-Brazil, Brazil-South America, Brazil-Europe, and Brazil-North America, that will be devoted to telecasting this sporting event.
By virtue of this agreement, some of the leading TV channels worldwide such as Fox Sports and Al Jazeera will cover the 2104 20th World Cup through Hispasat.
Ignacio Sanchis, Hispasat’s business director, stated that “this agreement bolsters Hispasat’s close commercial ties with Overon. We are extremely pleased that such a prestigious broadcasting company has chosen HISPASAT to work on this major project – televising the Brazilian World Cup”.
The CEO of Overon America, Óscar López, stated that “after many years of working on joint projects at European 30º West position, namely permanent and occasional TV distribution services, this is the first major deal with Overon on the other side of the Atlantic. We trust that this will be the start of many trans-Atlantic collaborations in the future”.
