The XtremeSat Media system aims to provide large network functionality at a small and medium sized network price point. The system will operate on C- or Ku-Band uplink systems and is capable of a single stereo audio channel or can be easily expanded to deliver up to 64 stereo channels in an MCPC configuration.

TeleSouth also entered into a multi-year agreement to provide satellite capacity for the distribution of its programming. TeleSouth said the new technology allowed the company to significantly reduce their occupied satellite bandwidth and monthly recurring costs.

“When Bob Exum of Clear Channel Satellite presented the XtremeSat Media solution, it looked like a perfect fit,” TeleSouth Spokesman Houston McDavitt said in a statement. “From that point forward, the Clear Channel Satellite support staff has spent countless hours tailoring the system to fit our needs. I cannot say enough about their efforts to ensure the smooth integration and expertise in all things satellite.”
