PanAmSat has repointed a Ku-band beam on its PAS-8 Pacific Ocean Region satellite saying it will now "effectively reach every corner of New Zealand, New Caledonia and Fiji...opening up these markets for additional PanAmSat services."
According to David Ball, PanAmSat's VP for Asia Pacific, "we can now service our many customers who have wanted to reach New Zealand, New Caledonia and Fiji on our fleet. Broadcast television, VSAT services, broadband, emergency response, disaster recovery and satellite news gathering will all be available through the satellite's far-reaching, impressive footprint...And for the many multi-cultural viewers in these countries, we will be able to deliver a wide array of ethnic programming through our PanGlobal TV DTH platform, already a success in neighbouring Australia."

PanGlobal TV is a joint marketing alliance between PanAmSat and GlobeCast Australia.
