Digitised TV Broadcasting to be launched tomorrow

The Sri Lanka Television Broadcasting Digitization Project is to be officially launched tomorrow afternoon, the Mass Media Ministry said.

The Ministry said with the Television Broadcasting Digitization Project, people would be able to watch programs more clearly while removing TV signal vulnerabilities.

This project is planned and operated by the Mass Media Ministry with JICA financial and technical assistance.

The official launching ceremony of the program will be held tomorrow at 7.00 pm.

The Ministry said after initialising the program, the whole analog signal broadcasting system will be converted into digital format. Meanwhile, the ministry said the removal of multiple television antennae and the ability to capture all TV channels with one antenna is another feature of digitization. (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)
