A Galaxy satellite at 95°W adding capacity to America's most important cable distribution orbital position. Galaxy-36 demonstrates that despite streaming's growth, the satellite C-band cable distribution business remains robust enough to justify new satellite investment. Sports rights fees — which support live sports as cable television's most irreplaceable content — ensure that C-band distribution infrastructure remains economically viable as long as live sports drive cable subscriptions.
