Berlin-based media authority MABB has allocated German transmitter network operator Media Broadcast a local DVB-T2 multiplex serving Berlin and surroundings.
The licence is valid for seven years following the platform’s launch.
As the platform operator, Media Broadcast will be able to decide about the channels using the capacity, but has to respect the principles of equal and non-discriminatory access.
The launch of the multiplex which will be able to carry up to eight TV channels is planned for November 2017.
Media Broadcast which operates nationwide DVB-T2 platform Freenet TV was recently also granted permission to operate a local multiplex in Hamburg.
