Intelsat has renewed its agreement with ViewMedia, a media service provider providing a Free-to-Air (FTA) TV platform for Sub-Saharan Africa. This renewal, leveraging the Intelsat 20 (IS-20) video neighbourhood and Africa’s premier DTH community, aims to bolster ViewMedia’s business in the region by expanding its entertainment offerings and attracting new channels.

Intelsat will collaborate closely with ViewMedia throughout 2025 to develop new relationships with organisations including those that handle regional audience measurement databases. This partnership seeks to enhance the variety of channels available and creating new opportunities for ad-revenue generation.

“Our goal is to support ViewMedia in providing a diverse range of entertainment channels that cater to the interests of viewers in Sub-Saharan Africa while encouraging their own growth,” said Rhys Morgan, RVP of the EMEA region for Intelsat.

The renewed service will be used across Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa, ensuring that ViewMedia’s audience continues to enjoy high-quality entertainment content.
