[Via Satellite 02-04-2016] SES has signed a multi-year deal with Inter Media Group, Ukraine´s largest media group, for additional capacity to broadcast TV channels on the Astra 4A satellite at 5 degrees east. In addition to its two leading channels, Inter and NTN, Inter Media Group will distribute six additional channels on the satellite pursuant to the new capacity agreements.

SES reached a record number of 7,268 TV channels broadcast over its global satellite fleet at the end of 2015. This represented a significant channel growth of 11.3 percent over the last 12 months, which the company contributed in part to the globalization of its video business and growth in emerging markets, including the Central and Eastern European region.
