[Satellite TODAY 06-29-11] RRsat Global Communications Network has launched Fight Now TV, a 24-hour HD sports channel on EchoStar’s Ku-band payload on the Galaxy 23 satellite, RRsat announced June 28.

   Fight Now TV uses RRsat’s RRstream technology to stream content from the channel’s headquarters in Toronto, Canada to RRsat’s Hawley Teleport in Pennsylvania for national satellite distribution via satellite. RRsat said the deal aims to showcase its ability to deliver low-to-zero latency and high-content resolution supporting HD satellite distribution. 
   “While we initially launched on Cablevision, with the wide audience being made available by RRsat on the Galaxy 23 satellite, we expect to expand very quickly to additional cable, satellite and telco operators so that fight fans across the country can have a 24/7 combat sports destination on their TVs,” Fight Now TV Founder and General Manager Mike Garrow said in a statement.
