Astra 23.5°E is a major source of TV and radio channels and multimedia services for parts of Europe.

Astra 19.2°E is one of the major TV satellite positions serving Europe, transmitting over 1,150 TV, radio and interactive channels to more than 93 million direct-to-home (DTH) and cable homes in 35 countries [1] (the other major satellite positions being at 13° East, 28.2° East, 23.5° East, and 5° East).
