NEW YORK — New Line TV Company, a telecommunication company headquartered in Miami, Florida and serving cable systems in the United States, Canada, Central and South America, and Puerto Rico has chosen Genesis Networks for both the fiber backhaul and satellite distribution needs of FRANCE 24, a well known 24/7 international news channel.  The worldwide video fiber network provided by Genesis Networks allows New Line TV Company to bring FRANCE 24’s English and French versions directly from Paris for cable distribution on a Genesis satellite platform serving the Americas and Hawaii.

New Line TV Company will ingest the English language programming of FRANCE 24, one of the world’s leading news broadcasters, directly from FRANCE 24’s Paris headquarters via Genesis Networks’ global video fiber network.  A ready-to-air feed will then be given back by New Line TV Company in Miami for fiber transport and satellite distribution on Genesis Network’s Cable Distribution Platform on the Intelsat Galaxy 23 satellite located at 121 degrees West longitude. This complete end-to-end turnkey solution through the Genesis Network allows New Line TV Company to maintain very high quality and control over the finished product while enjoying the benefits of a cost effective and flexible “hybrid” solution. 

“New Line TV Company is excited to have the opportunity to broadcast in our continent FRANCE 24’s English language programming and is equally excited to have a reliable solution for transport of the signal,” said Victor Romero, President & CEO of New Line TV Company “Genesis was the ideal provider for this solution because of its comprehensive coverage and cost effective packages.”
