Intelsat announced Brazilian regional television broadcaster TV Clube as the latest television programmer to move its High Definition (HD) channel distribution to Intelsat 14, a new HD video neighborhood expanding Intelsat’s distribution presence in the region. Under a new multi-year agreement, TV Clube will use services on Intelsat 14 to expand its HD presence in the region, including distribution to its Ultra High Frequency (UHF) retransmission sites.

Intelsat 14 is located at 315 degrees East and joins Intelsat 11, Intelsat 21 and Intelsat 34, which Latin American content owners use to distribute sports, entertainment, news and education programming to more than 93 million viewers, according to Intelsat.

“By moving to Intelsat 14, TV Clube will be able to expand distribution of its regional programming in the State of Pernambuco and deliver cost-effective, reliable, high definition television programming to millions of new viewers throughout the region,” said Fernando Eugenio, superintendent director at Opiniao Sistema de Comunicacao, TV Clube’s parent company.
