Television

NBC became the first Ku-band satellite-delivered network by using a GE Americom satellite. PBS is delivering programming to its broadcast affiliates and educational networks via our satellites. Commercial broadcasters use our Ku-band satellite service to distribute network feeds and provide news and special events to broadcast stations. Our fleet of hybrid (C and Ku-band) satellites, at prime orbital locations, provide our customers with the specific broadcast video solutions they and their customers depend on.

We deliver the global reach that domestic and international broadcasters require. Our California and Hawaii earth stations provide key access to the Pacific Ocean Region satellite systems. Our east coast satellite facility in Vernon Valley, New Jersey, provides access to the Atlantic Ocean Region. At GE Americom we also provide interconnects for domestic distribution and turnarounds with connectivity to New York, Los Angeles and Denver.

Our new Customer Service Center ensures that all your broadcast requirements are met, including small order occasional bookings. The center enables customers to access the computerized Satellite Transponder Availability and Reservation System (STARS). STARS can be used with our satellite fleet or adapted to manage other satellite inventory.

Our breakthrough broadcast television services enable companies of all sizes to deliver exceptional programming whether it be by C and Ku-band full-time transponders; occasional and bulk-hour transponder service; or compressed digital video service/SCPC. In addition we can provide 50 state coverage plus the Caribbean and Central America; a variety of protection levels and service terms to meet customers needs; 24-hour monitoring to ensure quality transmission and domestic and international uplinks.

Radio Services

Because it plays an integral role in the distribution of radio material, the GE satellite fleet is at the heart of the premiere radio programming neighborhoods in the U.S. Our GE satellites deliver critical feeds to more than 6,000 network affiliates nationwide. We provide the radio programmer with analog and digital services for both C-band and Ku-band applications.

We continue to achieve higher standards of commercial radio services by pioneering innovations that work for our customers. GE Americom again led the industry in developing and delivering Digital Audio Transmission Service (DATS) to radio station affiliates, and today we continue to lead the way in defining standards for high quality audio transmission. National, regional and specialized networks benefit from our Single Channel Per Carrier (SCPC) services as well.

Our SATCOM C-5 satellite continues as the premiere address for radio services providing analog and digital SCPC service; transponder, bandwidth and power tailored to customer needs; and a variety of protection levels with service terms to meet customers business requirements.
