LANGKAWI: By the early hours of tomorrow, history will be created in the nation’s broadcasting industry when analogue TV broadcasting will cease services on this island and viewers here will be the first in the country to switch completely to digital TV services.
The move is in line with the government’s plan to migrate from analogue to the digital system by the third quarter of this year. Those who stand to immediately benefit from the coverage are low-income earners eligible under the government’s Bantuan Sara Hidup financial aid, who were recently presented with free decoders.
“Geographically, Langkawi has no hilly areas, so it does not require more TV transmitters. To cover the area, MYTV Broadcasting Sdn Bhd has provided direct-to-home coverage to ensure digital TV broadcast to populated areas. As such, MCMC does not expect to encounter major problems once analogue TV broadcasting ceases in Langkawi, ” she said in an exclusive interview with Bernama.
