Yes, just seemed odd that they report it as being parked at the Galaxy 16 spot over there for some reason.

Chances are the reappearance of the channel has been mapped to W2 instead of W2M on their database and the orbital info has been picked up automatically from one of the tracking sites.

W2 was sent to graveyard orbit as none operational so theres no chance of a miraculous recovery at 99W :D
