New DTH Opportunity in the Philippines

The Philippines has a population of over 90 million people, of whom over 90% are Christian and of those, 81% are practicing Roman Catholics. Filipinos are a sophisticated and westernised nation, now the third largest English speaking country in the world. We invite you to reach the Philippines via direct satellite, with the option of local FM transmission.

WRN has access to the Agila 2 satellite that provides transmission for the "Dream" bouquet. In addition to audiences in the Philippines, the satellite is watched in many nearby countries that are covered by the footprint. In fact, many English speakers in China have receivers for "Dream" in order to access major European and American channels.

WRN can also arrange lease of airtime on local FM stations for radio broadcasters.
