Description
Pan Africa TMT was appointed by the Department of Communications to undertake an evaluation of the Broadcasting Digital Migration Communication Strategy (Public Awareness Campaign and Consumer Support) as part of the Departmental Evaluation Plan of 2017/2018. Broadcasting Digital Migration (BDM) is a process by which broadcasting services offered on analogue networks are transferred to digital based networks over a specific period. Historically, terrestrial transmission has been the dominant form of delivery for analogue Television (TV) and Radio Broadcasting Services.
The BDM revolution is well-underway globally. The transition from analogue to digital terrestrial television broadcasting presents governments, broadcasters, regulators and the general public with
immense opportunities and challenges. While the migration process is applicable to both television and radio broadcasting services, this document addresses the main issues concerning digital migration of television broadcasting.
