A strategic cooperation agreement was signed in Istanbul on November 3, 2022 between Digiturk, one of the leading digital platforms in its field, and Türksat, the market leader in satellite communications operations, which distinguishes itself as Turkey's first and only satellite operator.
The agreement for the strategic partnership aiming to provide better quality and stronger broadcasting in Turkey through Türksat Satellites was signed by Digiturk CEO Yousef Al-Obaidly and Türksat General Manager Hasan Hüseyin Ertok. Representing Türksat at the signing ceremony, Deputy General Managers Dr. Selman Demirel and Metin Çavuşoğlu, Directors Fatih Geredeli, Kazım Efendioğlu, İhsan Küsmez, Hüsamettin Demirel and Yüksel Fidan, and our experts Aydın Zaim and Ömer Şamil Açba were present.
Speaking at the Signing Ceremony, Digiturk CEO Yousef Al-Obaidly stated that they have taken a very important step for Digiturk, which is a milestone, and that broadcasting via Türksat satellites will greatly increase their work efficiency and offer digital broadcasts with the best-in-class technology. Al-Obaidly added that they are happy to cooperate with a Turkish company as a company that has invested in the Turkish economy.
One-Stop Broadcasting Ease
Türksat General Manager Hasan Hüseyin Ertok stated that this cooperation agreement signed between Türksat, one of the world's leading satellite operators with 5 GEO communication satellites operated in three different orbits, and Digiturk, one of Turkey's largest broadcasting platforms, is a very important one for the broadcasting industry in Turkey. He said he believed it was a step. Ertok said, “With this contract, which we value, Digiturk broadcasts, which are transferred to the satellites we operate in our 42 East locations, will strengthen the TV broadcasting in our country and allow the audience to watch broadcasts from a single point. I would like to thank all the managers and employees of Digiturk, who successfully managed the transfer of broadcasts from a different satellite operator to Türksat, as well as my teammates at Türksat. I wish this step taken will be beneficial for our country and both institutions.”
Thanks to the strategic cooperation agreement signed with Digiturk, which aims to provide higher quality and uninterrupted digital broadcasting services, users will now experience the difference of Türksat only through Türksat satellites. Within the scope of the agreement, Digiturk broadcasts will be carried out only over the satellites of Türksat, Turkey's national communication satellite operator, as of November 15, 2022.
