Intelsat has been selected to continue distributing content for ViacomCBS Networks International (VCNI) in Central Europe, Eastern Europe and across the Asia Pacific region, the operator announced Aug. 11. 

In the Central and Eastern European market, VCNI uses Intelsat’s Direct-to-Home (DTH) platform on the 1 West video neighborhood to deliver its programming, and in Southeast Asia, VCNI leverages the Intelsat 19 (IS-19) satellite to serve its distribution affiliates, including cable headends, throughout the region. 

VCNI will also continue to utilize Intelsat’s terrestrial uplink services to distribute its video content across key Asian and Central and Eastern European markets. 

Intelsat Regional Vice President of North America Tim Schermerhorn commented: “Intelsat is the first choice for major media companies requiring global distribution and managed media services. We are honored that VCNI values the expertise and reliability inherent in Intelsat’s managed services that enable us to expertly deliver content anywhere in the world. Our managed services are underpinned by the integrated hybrid space and the IntelsatOne terrestrial fiber network, providing the highest quality access available to multiple platforms and teleports.”
