“Maasranga Television is the first high definition broadcaster in our country, and it sets the benchmark for the HD channels which will no doubt follow,” said Syed Fahim Munaim, CEO of Maasranga Television. “That’s why it was important for us to install world-class technology. As well as providing technologically advanced equipment, Grass Valley was able to supply all our production and infrastructure needs, giving us the ability of dealing with just one company.”
“This is a great example of a trend we are seeing worldwide, of businesses seeking to establish television channels and wanting to move quickly to be first to market and gain a competitive edge,” said Jeff Rosica, Senior Vice President for Grass Valley. “Our negotiations with Maasranga Television were short and very professional, with the order being placed in September, demonstrating that Grass Valley has the global reach and the professional agility to meet the real market need for rapid response.”
