RRsat Launches its Fourth US TV and Radio Platform Reaching Millions of Homes
 
Launch Represents Major Step in RRsat's America-to-America Program Distribution Strategy

RE'EM, Israel, August 3, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RRsat Global Communications Network Ltd. (NASDAQ: RRST), a rapidly growing provider of comprehensive content management and global distribution services to the television and radio broadcasting industries, announced today that it has launched a new platform on the Galaxy 19 (G-19) satellite that enables the distribution of television and radio channels devoted to religious programming. The new platform, together with RRsat's three other platforms already operating on this satellite, will broadcast more than 50 religious and ethnic TV and radio channels, reaching millions of homes across the United States, and represents a major step in RRsat's program to distribute content within the Americas originating in the Americas.

The Galaxy 19 satellite, located at 97degreesW, is one of the largest ethnic video platforms in the U.S. offering programmers and content distributors access to millions of homes in the U.S. cable community. RRsat has signed agreements with thirteen TV and radio channels to be broadcast on its new Galaxy 19 platform directly from RRsat's Hawley Teleport in Pennsylvania. Channels already launched include the Three Angels Broadcasting Network (3ABN), which also use RRsat's services for global distribution, the three Hope channels: Hope Channel, Esperanza TV, and Hope Church channel; and Loma Linda Broadcasting Networks Inc., which broadcasts on Galaxy 19 in English, Arabic and Chinese and uses RRsat's distribution services to North America, Asia, Africa and Australia. 3ABN, LLBN and the Adventist Television Network channels are all major Christian television and radio networks in the United States offering a full range of religious content and programming. Their presence on this platform is representative of the increase in content being distributed by RRsat's Hawley Teleport in which both the source and the destination is North America.

"Interest in religious programming and content is on the rise in the United States," commented Lior Rival, Vice President, Sales and Marketing of RRsat. "By positioning ourselves as a provider of global distribution for all types of religious content, we believe we can further penetrate this important market and become a leading distribution solution for this programming. Moreover, this launch represents another significant step in our penetration of the America-to-America market."

RRsat's customers are very pleased with the new platform and have said the following:

"Three Angels Broadcasting Network is happy to include its network for broadcasting on G-19 using RRsat." said Moses Primo of 3ABN "We've been using RRsat satellite services for over 15 years and this G-19 coverage is just what we needed to reach free-to-air (FTA) viewers from Canada, The United States, and all the way down to Central America. For the last 25 years 3ABN has reached people with programming aimed at mending broken people and giving them a hope of a better life."

"Our recent launch on G-19 has opened up valuable markets for LLBN in the Caribbean and Latin America. Also, our LLBN Arabic and LLBN Chinese networks are experiencing rapid growth across G-19's North American Market." said Derrell Mundall, Vice President of Marketing, LLBN International.

"SmartLifestyle TV is now providing health and lifestyle programming to headends and FTA viewers from Canada to South America on G-19."said Ganim Hanna, President, SmartLifestyle TV " RRsat provides a platform that has brought advertisers, programmers, and affiliates to the door, and is making SmartLifestyle TV a household name in the viewer market."

"The RRSat service for North America is an appealing service," says Brad Thorp, President of the Hope Channel Inc network, which currently operates ten unique channels, says. "We also use RRSat for our service on Hotbird 6 and IS 10, and believe the new RRSat platform will have special benefit to millions of viewers in the Americas ."

Mrst53,

I have Direct tv too, you get it 24 /7 on channel 368. Some is good when it comes to Sabbath School lessons, or Mark Finley, Shawn Boonstra Doug Batchelor. and the Revelation Series.  But all that you see on "Hope" does not represent our fundamental beliefs as you may not understand for the time being.

Mrst53,

Just remembered something, just because you have direct TV does not guarantee that you have "Hope" Channel, When I first got it I had to ask for it and then when I got it ..it wasn't there so I called them and they have to put some sort of special thing on your entrance of cable before you get it. If you do not have it call them and request they do that.

Mrst53,  You will have to call directtv and tell them you want 368 included in your plan. to add that channel  to your package. They had to come out the next day after they installed DT and they added some sort of different divise (maybe because of our area) My daughter got direct tv and somehow they automatically have it. I think is what plan you have but no matter what they can add it like they did mine. I told them in the beginning I was only going with direct tv because they carried it. Then when it was installed I did not have it so then I called and they said that the installer made a mistake and did not add the right devise to get it and after they did that I had Channel 368. So you must call them to get that extended to you.

What is a "liberal"???

There are liberal jews, liberal pretestants, liberal catholics, liberal democrats, liberal republicans: What is a Liberal Seventh-day Adventist? Are liberals the real McCoy or just consciencious objectors to a social order? LSDA's...do they have their own churches and administration? Do they have an agenda? A Purpose?

Do they believe in the 27 (28) Fundemental Beliefs? If not, can they be Seventh-day Adventist's or are they SdAINO's (Seventh-day Adventists in Name Only)?

Will their be a unity in the Spirit or are they at odds with the Fundementals of Faith?

as far as I am concerned for my discernment of a liberal is exactly that--at odds with the fundamentals of faith, laws of the land or any person that selects a religion to suit their fancy or live a life style that is to their liking. A liberal is also a joiner. IF not they would look for truth their self instead of closing their ears and eyes when it it in plain site to see. 
So why do they still bother with any belief other then their own selfish desires.  also to me a liberal justifies constantly or twists or spins the plain truth. and to tell the truth it is good I have come to this site to see that for a fact. It is like arguing that a little wine (that is fermented) is good when we are told it is not. They twist the meaning. Grape juice without sugar does the same thing. (for example) same with a lot more I have discovered on here. also sympathizing with perverts. Perverts are not my brothers or sister in Christ. We are supposed to shun the appearance of evil and yep I sure do not or would not associate with the likes of these........can't understand for a minute why they are not embarrassed to be associated.  hmmm, that's because they are liberals.
