All TV channels based in the western province will be digitalised by using Lotus Tower as the centralised point by December 31 2023, Media Minister Dullas Allahaperuma told Parliament yesterday.
Minister Alahaperuma said the digitalisation will be done by using Lotus Tower and 16 other towers.
“We were to go for digitalisation of TV channels in December 2021 but could not even begin the process. However we have now embarked on it with Japanese assistance,” the Minister added.
“All viewers will be able get quality pictures through their TV sets at an affordable amount when digitalisation is fully implemented,” he said.
