The Ukrainian regulator National Council, in cooperation with other government bodies, is looking into the possibility of local TV channels employing the DVB-T2 standard.
They would be launched following the final switch off of analogue broadcasting on May 1, 2019 and cover both areas in which digital reception is possible and ‘white spots’ where there is no digital signal.
In a statement, the National Council says it has produced step-by-step instructions for broadcasters with analogue licences and not currently represented in digital multiplexes.
They are invited to submit documentation to the regulator by November 30.
