West and Central Wales goes digital
All analogue TV channels in west and central Wales have now been switched off, and more than 26,000 viewers have gone digital.
On 10 March, analogue BBC One, ITV1, S4C and Five were turned off permanently at the Blaenplywf transmitter group, enabling extra channels to be broadcast from twelve local relay transmitters.
Existing Freeview viewers may find some of their channels missing—the services have moved to new frequencies and can be restored by retuning Freeview TVs and boxes.
Emyr Byron Hughes, Digital UK's National Manager in Wales, said: "This is an historic day for TV in west and central Wales as we say goodbye to the old analogue system forever. Viewers have responded extremely well and many are enjoying the benefits of digital TV for the first time."
