Centrally-run cities to halt analogue terrestrial TV broadcasting
The broadcasting of analogue terrestrial television is scheduled to cease in centrally-run Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Can Tho on June 15, and in Haiphong city on August 15.
It will be replaced by digital terrestrial television, which will provide a greater number of channels and better quality of picture and sound.
The move is in line with a national project approved by the Prime Minister in 2011 to digitise terrestrial television broadcasting throughout the country.
The four-phase project aims to switch to digital terrestrial television broadcasting across the country by the end of 2020.
