The leading media companies in Ukraine have set a new date for the encryption of their satellite-delivered TV channels.
According to Satkurier, it will now take place in May 2019 rather than November this year.
The decision of the four companies – StraLightMedia, 1+1 Media, Media Group Ukraine and Inter Media Group – is the related to the switch off of analogue terrestrial TV in Ukraine, which takes place today (August 31).
In their view, there should be an interval of at least six months between all digital terrestrial TV (September 1) and the encryption of DTH services.
