Melody Zen begins broadcasting via Eurobird™ 9

Melody Zen, a new concept in well-being television has chosen the Eurobird™ 9 satellite of Eutelsat Communications to deliver its signal across Europe in Full HD as well as standard definition in 16/9 format. The channel is uplinked to Eurobird™ 9 by Eutelsat from its teleport in Rambouillet, near Paris.

Broadcasting 24 hours a day, Melody Zen’s programming, with water as a key element, is a combination of landscapes, zen music, sound of nature and relaxation methods. The video signal is accompanied by three audio channels: MelodyZen 100% pure natural sounds, MelodyZen Music and MelodyZen Well-being.

Melody Zen’s launch on Eurobird™ 9 boosts the rapid take-up of channels broadcasting from Eutelsat’s newest video neighbourhood. From its location at 9 degrees East the close proximity of Eurobird™ 9 to Eutelsat’s Hot Bird™ satellites at 13 degrees East also opens opportunities for reception from both neighbourhoods with off-the-shelf dual-feed domestic dishes.

Channels on Eurobird™ 9’s include music channels C-Music, and B4U Music India, and innovative thematic channels such as Luxe TV which broadcasts both in Standard Definition and High-Definition. SVT Europa, the international channel of Sweden’s public broadcaster also recently joined Eurobird™ 9. The Portuguese pay-TV platform TV TEL is an anchor client, using two transponders for broadcasting Portuguese entertainment and international thematic channels to satellite homes in mainland Portugal, Madeira and as far as the Azores.
