Boesmanskop and surrounding towns in the Free State became the first areas in SA to experience digital migration when their analogue television transmitters were switched off on Monday.
The ministry of communications and digital technologies and broadcasters this week began the long-awaited process of moving from analogue to digital broadcasting for TV and radio.
The switch-off comes on the back of President Cyril Ramaphosa’s announcement during the state of the nation address last month that the phased switch-off of analogue TV transmitters would begin this month.
