Ku Band Satellite for Free To Air  (FTA) Stations

What is Ku band?
The Ku band downlink uses frequencies between 11.7 and 12.7GHz. Ku band satellites typically transmit with much more power than C band satellites. This allows Ku band dishes to be smaller (typically around 30") and helps Ku band transmissions to overcome rainfade. Millions of listeners have moved to this option for both TV and radio, since the entire setup costs less than $200. Further, there are no monthly fees for the Free To Air stations we broadcast on. Broadcasts are in multiple languages but we broadcast only on English Language stations
