These new services, including streaming, cloud-based solutions, and expanded satellite occasional use for sports, present opportunities for audience growth and enriched viewing experiences with a range of distinctive features.
The collaboration also includes the fully published Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) data to access the channel’s schedule and programme details enhancing the viewer experience.

Aside from this HD platform launch, STN also introduced its Electronic Programme Guide.
Babeleye has collaborated with EasyBroadcast to manage Intelsat’s Electronic Programme Guide in Africa and feed it with images-rich multi-lingual metadata.
The new Electronic Programme Guide will help hotel visitors find channels and programmes in their native language.
