Over 50 Radio and Television Stations renting space from the Uganda Broadcasting Corporation (UBC) Mast at Kololo Summit View will from Sunday be put off air to enable UBC to migrate from analogue to digital broadcasting, an exercise that will take 3 days.
The Migration is in fulfillment of the July 2006 International Telecommunication Union (ITU) resolution (to which Uganda is signatory) and requires all countries to have shifted all their television broadcasting signals from Analogue to Digital by June 2015.
In a press release from Ms Rose Namayanja, the information and national guidance minister, government would stick on to the three days to mitigate impact of the process.
“UBC has put in place a contingency arrangement to ensure uninterrupted provision of television and radio services beyond the greater Kampala areas in Uganda,”Namayanja said.
She said television services on the satellite platform would not be interrupted during the period of installation of digital terrestrial television antennas.
