Chile postpones analogue TV switch off to 2024

SANTIAGO — The government of Chile has announced a revised plan for the implementation of digital television over the next four years. Under the plan, the expectation is that 80% of Chileans will have a digital signal by 2022.

The updated schedule comes after Chile’s national television association (ANATEL – Asociación Nacional de Televisión de Chile) asked Chile’s communications regulator, SUBTEL (Subsecretaría de Telecomunicaciones), for a postponement of the original cut off date of April 2020.
