Doha, Qatar: Es’hailSat, the Qatar Satellite Company, has expanded its channel offerings by incorporating Algeria’s El Ikhbariya (Algeria 3 / A3) TV channel into its video distribution lineup at the 26° East orbital position, facilitated by the Es’hail-2 satellite.

The Es’hailSat satellite footprint strategically encompasses the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, optimizing signal coverage and enabling significant viewership potential for the public broadcaster’s channel from Public Establishment of Broadcasting in Algeria (TDA) throughout this expansive area.

The scope of the agreement also includes five radio channels to cover the MENA region. This enhancement underscores Es’hailSat’s commitment to delivering a diverse range of content to satisfy regional demand, the company said in a press release. “Es’hailSat is delighted to welcome Algeria’s El Ikhbariya (A3) TV channel and bring on board Algeria’s public broadcaster to our satellite hotspot.” said Ali bin Ahmed Al Kuwari, President and CEO of Es’hailSat. 

“We believe that the reliability and expertise in providing satellite services by Es’hailSat aligns perfectly with EPTV’s vision to serve as the primary state and public broadcaster, providing comprehensive and reliable information to the Algerian public.”
