Measat Satellite Systems have announced an agreement with Nepal Digital Services to broadcast four free-to-air video channels across Nepal on Measat-3 satellite located at 91.5 degrees E.

The four channels, which have already begun transmission are AP1HD, BTV Business, TV Today and TV Filmy.

Nepal is currently digitalizing its broadcast services in accordance with the initiative by the Nepalese government.

The 91.5 degrees E prime video hot slot is home to the MEASAT-3, MEASAT-3a and MEASAT- 3b satellites, forming the region’s strongest video neighborhood.

MEASAT uses the slot to support broadcasters and DTH operators to distribute UHD, HD and SD channels to audiences across Asia, Australia, East Africa and South-Eastern Europe.

Laxmi Prasad Paudyal, managing director of Nepal Digital Services said AP1TV is excited to work with Measat and bring newly digitalized content to Nepal.

“Currently our channels are broadcast across only Nepal but with Measat-3’s global beam, we can take our content to Nepalese diaspora across the Asia Pacific and Middle East,” the executive said.

Raj Malik, SVP Sales, Measat, said that Measat looks forward to playing a key role in Nepal’s digital transformation by supporting the local broadcast industry with their expertise and customized solutions.
