What's replacing AMC 16 at 118.75? Isn't Telesat launching something? I remember reading something but I'm sure someone else can remember quicker than I can find it with Google.

60 days to operate the AMC-16 Ku-/Ka-band hybrid satellite at the 96.925º W.L. and 113.075º W.L. orbital locations. SES Americom
requests that the STA commence when SES Americom begins the drift back to the 85º W.L. orbital location from its current location
at 118.75º W.L. SES Americom requests authority to operate the Ka-band communications payload on AMC-16 at the 96.925º W.L.
and 113.075º W.L. orbital locations for a period of up to 20 days at each location. SES Americom also seeks authority to operate its
Ku-band TT&C at the 96.925º W.L. and 113.075º W.L. orbital locations. Accordingly, action on this request would also alter the
previously authorized special temporary authority granted for purposes of operating Ku-band TT&C during the drift of AMC-16 from
