LTV World Available in All Europe


    SES SIRIUS AB, an SES ASTRA company, announced today that the
    Lithuanian free-to-air public channel LTV World can be received by all
    cable networks in Europe via the SIRIUS 4 satellite. Since beginning
    of April, this public channel is available to the many Lithuanians
    living abroad. SES ASTRA is an SES company (Euronext Paris and
    Luxembourg Stock Exchange).

    Public Institution Lithuanian Radio and Television (LRT) and the
    satellite operator SES SIRIUS have signed an agreement for the
    broadcast of LTV´s third channel, LTV World, via SIRIUS 4 to cable
    networks in all Europe on a 12690.000 MHz frequency. The channel has
    been moved from the Nordic beam to the European beam so that the
    Lithuanians living outside their country can watch LTV World, which is
    the international version of the Lithuanian national channels LTV and
    LTV2.

    Boris Moskaliouk, Sales Manager of SES SIRIUS, said: "We are happy
    to help the public channels in their mission to spread national news
    and culture for Lithuanians living outside their country. With the
    transmission on the European beam of SIRIUS 4, the channel will reach
    many Lithuanians living in Europe, mainly in the UK, in Ireland and in
    Spain."

    According to Audrius Siaurusevicius, General Director of LRT, it
    is particularly gratifying that the Lithuanians living in the Western
    part of the European continent, namely in the UK, Ireland and Spain

    which form an important part of the Lithuanian emigration, will be
    able to keep up with the life of their homeland thanks to the
    programmes of the Lithuanian national broadcaster.

    The other Lithuanian channels available via SIRIUS are: LNK, TV1

    TV3 Lithuania and Tango TV.
