Broadcasting & Cable, October, 1994

PanAmSat this month began transmitting a fulltime program service for Philippines broadcaster ABS-CBN. The broadcaster plans to distribute its service to U.S. cable systems. ABS-CBN follows ESPN in initiating broadcast services from the PAS-2 satellite. PanAmSat also recently announced a pact with the Chinese Television Network (CTN) for the distribution of Mandarin information programing throughout the Asia Pacific region and to cites in North America.

CTN, owned by a Hong Kong media consortium, is leasing two compressed video channels on the PAS-2 satellite.
