With its footprint in the sand on virtually every Caribbean island, SES AMERICOM-NEW SKIES has announced Gulfcom has signed a five-year distribution agreement to meet the niche programming needs of cable operators serving the tropical region.

Gulfcom is leveraging a full transponder (36 megahertz) of capacity aboard the AMC-3 satellite to help cable operators offer a complete entertaining and informative programming lineup for both residents and visitors of the Caribbean.

"SES AMERICOM-NEW SKIES has the best, most reliable C-band footprint across the Caribbean," said Larry Corke, president of Gulfcom.

"The satellite coverage allows us to provide superstation programming, as well as top sports, weather and entertainment cable fare to large and small network operators who are offering a great viewing experience to homegrown audiences and vacationers alike from Bermuda and Trinidad to the Bahamas and Jamaica," Corke added, noting content on Gulfcom's Caribbean platform originates from the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean.

"Gulfcom is truly adding value, great programming choices, and customized growth potential to cable lineups across the Caribbean region," said Bryan McGuirk, Senior Vice President Media Services at SES AMERICOM-NEW SKIES.

"For more than a decade, SES AMERICOM-NEW SKIES has enabled Gulfcom to close a Caribbean cable programming gap with niche programming that people want to watch. We look forward to helping Gulfcom to expand its content offerings across the island region."
