Channels face blackout as INSAT 2E span ends
After DTH operators, now broadcasters face spectrum crunch and lack of Indian satellites. With its 12-year life having ended four days ago, there is panic among three-dozen regional and national broadcasters hosted on Indian Space Research Organisation satellite INSAT-2E.
Launched in April 1999, INSAT-2E's 12-year life span has now ended as a result these broadcasters now face a real threat of a blackout unless they manage to shift to foreign satellites.
Sources said ISRO has asked all such private broadcasters to find their own satellites and shift. Normally, all broadcasters and their teleport operators have to go through ISRO when moving to a foreign satellite.
Eutelsat, one group, one name, one fleet
Eutelsat is unifying the names of its satellites with the Eutelsat brand. As of March 1st 2012 the Group's satellites will all take the Eutelsat name, with the relevant figure for their orbital position and a letter indicating their order of arrival at that position. This logical pattern will enable our user community to immediately identify where a satellite is located and its chronology at the neighbourhood it occupies.
Current in-orbit satellites will be renamed as follows: W6 at 21.5

Many Tamil radio- and TV-channels around the world are broadcasting special Tamil National Remembrance Day programmes for the fallen heroes of Tamil Eelam. November 27th is a significance day for Eelam Tamils, who across the globe are united in remembering Tamil freedomfighters, who sacrified their lives so that Tamil people could one day live in peace and dignity in their own homeland, Tamil Eelam, on the island known as Sri Lanka.
As part of its efforts to annihilate the Eelam Tamil people's identity, the Sinhala-dominated Sri Lankan state has been engaged in hysterical effort to destroy any sign of their protracted resistance to its rule. Even if the Sri Lankan government has destroyed the cemeteries where Tamil fighters were laid to rest in Tamil Eelam and occupied the homeland of Tamils since 2009, Tamils and Tamil medias all over the world pay their respect to the Tamil freedom fighters.
