AsiaSat’s Peter Jackson Receives CASBAA Lifetime Contribution Award

HONG KONG: AsiaSat executive chairman Peter Jackson has been recognized for his commitment to the development of Asia’s pay-TV and communications industries with the Lifetime Contribution Award, presented during the CASBAA Charity Ball.

Jackson stepped down from the CASBAA board of directors at its annual general meeting this October. Prior to this, Jackson had served on the CASBAA board for more than a decade. He had been treasurer since 2001.

“Almost since the inception of the Asian pay-TV industry in the early 1990s Peter Jackson has provided strong leadership, market insights and cultural sensitivity with an unfailing sense of humor,” said Marcel Fenez, the chairman of CASBAA.

Fenez continued: “Peter’s support of the association as a member of the CASBAA Council of Governors, as a board member and as treasurer has been incalculable. The CASBAA Board of Directors salutes Peter Jackson.”

Jackson commented: ”I am honored to receive this award. But the honor is equally deserved by my many colleagues and industry friends who have so ceaselessly promoted the growth of our fast-moving industry. I have greatly enjoyed my time with CASBAA and I hope I can continue to contribute to the association and to the industry as a whole. I am extremely privileged to have been part of a great team over the years."
