New Media Legend, one of Russia’s principal suppliers of uplink services for pay-TV platforms and channels, has selected the 36° East satellite neighbourhood operated by Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL) for a new broadcasting platform providing Russian and international channels to complement the NTV Plus and Tricolor TV platforms. Following the signature of a long-term contract with Eutelsat, the new participation programme, called Scene, is using two transponders at 36° East.
