When will my area go digital?

Switchover is happening in different TV regions between 2008 and 2012. The Government has set a schedule for when the analogue signal will be switched off in each part of the country.

This doesn’t mean that you can’t go digital now. But it does give an ultimate deadline for when you’ll have to.

Here is that schedule:

Border	2008-09
Westcountry, Granada	2009
Wales	2009-10
West, STV North	2010-11
STV Central	2010-11
Central, Yorkshire, Anglia	2011
Meridian, London, Tyne Tees, Ulster	2012

These are start dates for each region – some will complete going digital the following calendar year. The closer your region gets to switchover, the more information you will get on television and locally – such as advertising and public meetings.

Keep an eye on www.digitaluk.co.uk. And there are lots of other useful places to get information. See contacts list.
