Announcing the Eutelsat TV Awards nominations for 2013

Paris, 3 October 2013 - One in four TV homes around the world today watches
satellite TV and this should be one in three homes before the end of the
decade. This growing consumer appetite for satellite TV is driven by choice,
quality and innovation, three features that the cross-industry jury of the
Eutelsat TV Awards debated from 27 to 28 September during a screening of 100
channels from 20 countries.

Now in its 16th year, the Eutelsat TV Awards is a unique international event
identifying and rewarding excellence in satellite broadcasting. Winning
channels in nine thematic categories will be honoured at a ceremony in Venice
on November 15 presented by UK television journalist Kate Silverton.

Duilio Giammaria, RAI television presenter and Jury Chairman of the Eutelsat TV
Awards said: "From channels with a 20-year legacy to new entrepreneurial
ventures in emerging markets, the jury assessed the quality of content
creation, innovative programme packaging and how channels are leveraging
technology to engage with their audience." This year's shortlist spans 12
countries: China, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Poland,
Russia, Turkey, UK, USA.

All participating channels in the Eutelsat TV Awards can now compete for the
People's Choice Award that will be won by the channel generating most votes
from the viewing public. Voting opened on October 1 and will continue until
October 30 via participating channel websites as well as the official
competition website - eutelsattvawards.com - and other popular sites including
broadbandtvnews.com, wotsat.com and millecanali.it.
