Community TV To Go Digital

Even though the government decided to kill off analogue TV in Australia by 2013 years ago, it was only this week that they decided that community TV stations would be included in the transition.

Gus over at Lifehacker has the details: the government’s freed up a spot of spectrum for community stations in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide, as well as $2.6 million to help with the transition. Although as Gus notes, there doesn’t seem to be a timeline for the switch to happen.
