The analogue terrestrial signals will be closed in 19 cities by December end, according to Prasar Bharati. This is a part of progress under its plan of transition to a digital network. After this, Prasar Bharati will end the analogues in 44 additional cities.
Prasar Bharati is building digital infrastructure by installing digital transmitters.
According to Shashi Shekhar Vempati, CEO, Prasar Bharati, “In India, so far we had been lagging in digital terrestrial broadcasting space. Prasar Bharati has made a beginning. Today, we have 19 cities where have rolled out digital terrestrial TV signals.”
He was speaking at the CII Big Picture Summit. The Prasar Bharati Board had approved the plans for phasing out analogue transmitters for terrestrial broadcast, a move that was considered to be long-pending.
Talking about strategy for future auctions of slots on its free-to-air DTH platform Free Dish, Vempati said: “We are working on a new policy. Future auctions will be based on the new formula. We have engaged IIM-Ahemdabad for the same.”
