In a move that will catch some viewers by surprise, CHCH TV is switching broadcast operations from analogue to digital Monday at 9:30 a.m. two weeks ahead of its deadline.
The switch — mandated for most of Canada’s broadcasters by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) — won’t affect most viewers who receive the station’s signal via cable or satellite TV. But viewers who rely on rabbit ears or a home antenna will not be able to receive the channel without a digital tuner (found in newer TV sets or purchased separately).
All major Canadian TV stations are required to switch to digital broadcasting by Aug 31. The move will improve signal and image quality, allow for high-definition broadcasts, and free up valuable segments of the airwaves for other uses.
