The Hezbollah-owned Lebanese television channel Al Manar has started broadcasts via the Palapa C2 satellite, the Helsingborg- based Lyngsat Satellite website reported on 8 April.
The TV channel is available at the following parameters for viewers in the Asia-Pacific region:
- Satellite: Palapa C2 at 113 degrees east
- Frequency: 4080 MHz horizontal polarity

The Palapa satellite is owned by the Indonesia Telkom company, in which the Indonesian government holds a majority shareholding(kb. pemegang saham.).
