PanAmSat has announced a 15-year, transponder lease agreement with the Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN) which claims to be the world’s largest religious media network.
The new sales agreement consists of one 36 MHz c-band transponder for follow-on capacity at 133 degrees on the G1-RR satellite for US domestic distribution. PanAmSat, the provider of global video and data satellite broadcasting services, will work with the EWTN team to help the religious network enter new markets and expand its coverage around the globe. In its 20th year, EWTN claims to have become the largest religious media network in the world, transmitting programming to more than 70 million homes in 38 countries and territories on 2,500 cable systems, wireless cable, Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS), low power TV and individual satellite users.

It claims a reach of more than 70 million television homes across the globe, transmitting its signal through 12 satellites (North America, Latin America, Europe, the Pacific Rim and Africa/India) with customised channels for each continent, 24-hours a day.

Business Today MindRush returns to Mumbai, spotlight on India’s edge in a fractured world
Policymakers and corporate heavyweights gather to map supply chains, energy security and markets
MUMBAI: As fault lines widen across global trade and geopolitics, Business Today is doubling down on India’s moment. The 14th edition of Business Today MindRush & Best CEOs Awards lands in Mumbai on March 28, pitching India’s strategic edge at the centre of a fragmenting world.
The day-long summit, presented by PwC, will bring together a tight mix of policymakers, industry leaders and market voices to decode shifting supply chains, maritime strategy, defence priorities, energy security and capital markets—sectors now deeply entangled with geopolitics.
M Nagaraju, secretary, department of financial services, ministry of finance, will headline the event, setting the tone for discussions that aim to track how India is repositioning itself amid disrupted trade routes and volatile energy dynamics.
The speaker slate reads like a cross-section of India Inc’s command centre. Krishna Swaminathan will zero in on sea lanes and supply chains, while Prashant Ruia is set to push the case for self-reliance in oil and gas. Ashish Chauhan will weigh in on capital markets at a pivotal juncture, as a panel featuring Vibha Padalkar, Sanjiv Mehta, Amish Mehta and Sanjeev Krishan debates navigating economic uncertainty.
Leadership under pressure will be another running theme. Madhavkrishna Singhania, Sharvil Patel, Karan Bhagat and Anurag Choudhary will unpack how businesses are steering through disruption. Arun Alagappan will turn the spotlight on fertilisers, Arundhati Bhattacharya will reflect on leadership transitions, while Anish Shah and S Vellayan will outline blueprints for building future-ready conglomerates.
The event will close with Aroon Purie setting the broader editorial lens, before the Best CEOs Awards recognise standout corporate leadership across sectors.
At a time when the global order looks increasingly splintered, MindRush 2026 is positioning itself as more than a conference—it is a signal that India intends not just to navigate the churn, but to shape it.
