Three TBS channels join Eutelsat’s KabelKiosk platform for cable networks in Germany, Austria, Luxembourg, Switzerland

Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. (TBS, Inc.), a major producer of news and
entertainment product and the leading provider of programming for the basic cable
industry, has selected Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL) to supply
capacity and services for delivering three of its flagship entertainment channels,
Boomerang, Cartoon Network and Turner Classic Movies (TCM), to cable networks
in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Luxembourg.

Eutelsat is providing TBS with a comprehensive broadcasting package which
includes multiplexing, encryption and uplinking as well as transmission to cable
markets in continental Europe. Signals are taken from the TBS playout centre in
London and delivered by fibre to Eutelsat’s Rambouillet teleport via a PoP in
Telehouse N, London. At Rambouillet, the channels are encrypted, placed into a
DVB multiplex for the KabelKiosk platform and transmitted by satellite to cable
headends.

Broadcasting with English and German soundtracks, the three TBS channels benefit
from privileged access to more than 170 regional cable network partners in Germany,
Austria, Switzerland and Luxembourg who offer their subscribers the KabelKiosk
channel product, which is commercialised by Eutelsat’s German subsidiary.
