Press Release Summary: Daystar Television Network, the fastest growing and second
largest Christian television network in the world, has called on SatLink
Communications, the fastest growing teleport in 2007, to launch the TV channel to
SatLink\'s AsiaSat 2 MCPC (Multiple Channels Per Carrier) digital platform, allowing
millions of viewers across Asia to watch this leading faith-based channel.



Press Release Body: Daystar, a family friendly and ministry oriented channel, comes
to join Satlink\'s rapidly growing bouquet of spiritual channels focused on
delivering their message to the Asian market. Broadcasters around the world are
choosing SatLink's transmission facilities &
Satellite Services
to extend their coverage to the Asia Pacific region. SatLink provides these
broadcasters with a comprehensive transmission solution including downlinking the
signal to SatLink's teleport near Jerusalem, uplink and capacity on its full
transponder for distribution to cable head-ends, re-broadcasters and individual home
viewers in the region.

Daystar provides an extensive blend of interdenominational and multi-cultural
programming with a line up including contemporary music videos, children's
animation, original programs such as Celebration and the award winning Joni Show,
and is available in virtually every city in America and every country in the world
via multiple Satellites, TV Stations, and Cable Systems.

Steve Wilhite, Daystar's Senior Vice President of Affiliate Relations said, "I
personally traveled across Asia meeting with Cable and DTH providers and discovered
first hand that AsiaSat 2 is the best platform choice for Daystar, delivering an
excellent signal that is unmatched by some other satellites covering this area of
the World. Daystar wants to reach as many people as possible and AsiaSat 2 helps us
to do that. We are proud to accomplish this with SatLink directly from Jerusalem."


Commenting on the launch of Daystar to SatLink's platform, David Hochner, Satlink's
CEO said, "Our AsiaSat 2 platform draws a range of acclaimed channels, offering them
the ideal entry to all of Asia, and we're honored to facilitate Daystar's
free-to-air distribution to this region."

Located at 100.5 degrees East, AsiaSat 2 provides unprecedented regional power and
coverage. The C-band beam covers China, India, Indonesia and other mass markets,
altogether reaching 53 countries and regions in Asia, the Middle East, Eastern
Europe, CIS and Australasia. AsiaSat 2's excellent ground penetration guarantees
instantaneous access to numerous cable operators, rebroadcasters, embassies, hotels
