[Via Satellite 10-16-2014] OUTtv has selected Spanish satellite operator Hispasat to expand its broadcast range throughout Europe. The channel is currently present in the Netherlands, Belgium and Sweden, however demand from television operators in Central and Eastern Europe prompted the need for new delivery methods.

OUTtv has since reached broadcast agreements in Slovakia, Estonia, Latvia, Bulgaria and Poland. RRMedia, formerly RRSat, will uplink the signals using teleports that link to the 30 degrees west orbital position. Through these partnerships, OUTtv is able to reach a larger number of European cable and telecom networks for channel distribution.
