SES Global announced Wednesday that its SES Astra subsidiary has completed an agreement with TV Vlaanderen to provide further telecom satellite capacity at Astra's prime orbital position at 19.2 degrees east longitude to accommodate the official launch of Belgium's first direct-to-home TV service.

In addition to the channels of Flemish public broadcaster VRT, the service bouquet of TV Vlaanderen now consists of all Flemish private channels including VTM, Kanaal2, JIM, VT4, VIJFtv, Vitaya, and KanaalZ.

"We are very pleased to be working closely with TV Vlaanderen for the roll-out of Belgium's first DTH bouquet," said Alexander Oudendijk, SES Astra's chief commercial officer.

"By signing-up both the Flemish public and private channels, TV Vlaanderen has a strong base for further growth," Oudendijk added.
