Telstar 301

Telstar 301 was an American communications satellite launched in July 1983 by AT&T. It was one of three Telstar satellites, followed by Telstar 302 in 1984 and Telstar 303 in 1985.

The satellite served as the east coast home satellite for the ABC network from 1984 to 1993. The CBS network also used the satellite from 1985 to 1993. It also served as the first home of Fox Broadcasting Company until the late 1980s.

Other entities that also used the satellite included Group W, Wold/Keystone Communications (which used the satellite to feed Paramount Television's syndicated output including Entertainment Tonight, , and .), Compact Video, Lorimar/Telepictures, and Warner Bros. Television.

The satellite was retired in 1993 and replaced by Telstar 401.
