[Via Satellite 10-20-2016] SES has signed a capacity agreement with C4K360 to launch the new C4K360 Ultra-HD channel across North America from the SES 1 satellite. The channel is tailored to young audiences, featuring content such as e-sports, lifestyle magazines and interviews, gaming, and extreme sports, along with live DJ sets, mega concerts and festivals.

C4K360 joins SES’ 4K Ultra-HD distribution neighborhood hosted on three satellites, SES 1, SES 3 and AMC 18, at the center of the geostationary orbital arc over North America. The new channel, licensed across North America from Vivicast Media, also embraces the second screen concept with 360 degree Virtual Reality (VR) premium content in addition to ultra-high resolution production values.

“C4K360 producers have already developed innovative club and dance programming that is extremely popular with European viewers, and the mix of clubbing and lifestyle entertainment shows is sure to be a big hit with audiences throughout the North American region,” said Stuart Smitherman, president of Vivicast Media. “The dynamic programming of C4K360 is a great example of the 24/7 linear and episodic 4K content that Vivicast licenses to operators worldwide.”
