Analogue Broadcasting

South Africa has failed to migrate to digital broadcasting, now we have to live with the consequences, writes Alistair Fairweather.

The "switch on" process of migrating free-to-air television broadcasting services from analogue format to digital broadcasting will start in June.

The government’s ineptitude has raised the question of whether the country will be able to successfully migrate from analogue to digital tv.

South Africa’s television landscape is being redesigned right now, but there are significant problems and wasted opportunities.
