All television stations are expected to migrate from analogue to a new digital platform by June 2015 as part of requirements by the International Telecoms Union.
The migration is expected to give television viewers enormous benefits such as clearer pictures. Communications Minister Haruna Iddrisu tells JOYBUSIENSS all is set for the first phase of the project to take off.
