Hong Kong – Asia Broadcast Satellite (ABS) has been selected by Eurovision as its satellite broadcast partner for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. ABS will provide two C-band transponders on its ABS-1 satellite for Eurovision’s live transmissions from Beijing throughout the month of August. “ABS-1 will be an essential part of our transmission network for the Olympic Games by transporting live high definition events from the Olympics in Beijing, China, for distribution in Europe. We will uplink to ABS-1 from Beijing and downlink directly in Europe in a single hop, lowering our costs and improving reliability for this premier event,” said Paulo Pusterla, Eurovision’s head of strategy and business development.
