Govt approves digital TV plan

Prague, April 28 (CTK) - The Czech government Monday approved a plan for the switch to digital terrestrial TV broadcasting which sets the date for the end of analogue broadcasting on most of the Czech territory as of Nov 11, 2011.

The government also agreed that an interministerial commission be set up to find a way for toughening conditions for imports and registration of used cars.

In two regions, namely Zlinsky and Jesenicky, analogue TV broadcasting is to continue until June 2012 due to technical problems.

The plan is voluntary and its implementation cannot be forced. It is necessary that Czech TV, TV Nova and TV Prima exchange their current analogue frequencies for digital ones. If they agree, each of them will get one more digital licence in exchange.
