Actually, it might be...
It seems they were talking of Telesat's Telstar 19 Vantage, to be stationed at 63W, with a variety of Ku and Ka beams.
From what I can read, the North Atlantic beam should be easily receivable in the Eastern third of the US, and will be using the spectrum between 11450 and 12200 MHz. Unfortunately for you, it does not seem that it covers any of NM.
This said, I'm not holding my breath for any FTA TV signal there... All i've see so far on 63W was encrypted...
