A Galaxy C-band satellite at 97°W providing cable television distribution across North America. Galaxy-19 sits at one of the densest cable distribution orbital positions in the world — thousands of US cable headend dishes point at 97°W to receive the programming that fills American cable packages. When a US cable subscriber watches any national cable channel, that signal almost certainly passed through a Galaxy satellite at some point in its journey from studio to screen.
