The number of reservations on the satellite increases regularly

Major breaking news events like the death of Pope John-Paul II and the Mideast crisis in 2006 led to new all-time highs regarding monthly volume of transponder booking time.

ENEX handles 10 permanent digital Satellite channels on Eutelsat W2. During breaking news and special events or following requests from ENEX Partners, additional ad hoc capacity is leased, sometimes doubling or even tripling the overall space capacity.

Depending on their financial contribution to ENEX, Member Stations are allocated daily so-called "Blockbookings" to cover their News prime time.

ENEX has a 24h sublease agreement for 10 channels on the Eutelsat W2 satellite The footprint of the satellite allows transmissions from Scandinavia to North Africa, from Ireland to the Ural, including news generating regions as the Middle East, Iraq or Afghanistan.

This permanent ENEX space capacity is located on Transponder F1-Channel Alpha-Hotel(8ch), F5 channel Uniform and B5 Ch85.
