AMC 15 now parked 85w...so what now?

[Paradox-SJ]

So now the AMC 15 has reached its home does anybody have any real information on what E* plans on doing with it?

I would guess locals, shopping channels and more forign networks...but thats only a guess.

Speculation welcome

Actually it’s AMC16 that is parked at 85 degrees. AMC15 is currently at 113. Charlie has always said that these two birds would be used primarily for broadband based services as their primary mission and perhaps for video delivery as a secondary mission, but there has never been a ‘formal’ announcement of the EchoStar plan.

AMC15 is moving to 105 to replace AMC2 for locals. AMC2 does not cover the whole US
