Digital switchover in Kuboia

The digital switchover in Kuboia is a current process of turning off all analogue television providers and television channels in the country of Kuboia in favour of broadcasting television only in digital format. The process is scheduled to conclude on 29th January, 2023 with the closure of analogue television in North Kuboia.

History
Digital television commenced in Kuboia with the launch of Digitele in 1999.

In 2010, the KDC announced that Kuboia would become "digital only" by the end of 2020. Although some of the public responded negatively to the news, KDC said they would "do everything possible" to make sure nobody would be left without television after analogue signals were turned off.

Analogue satellite television came to an end in Kuboia after Rutten Satellite closed its remaining services on 10th February, 2013.

The closure of analogue terrestrial started when South Kuboia switched off its remaining signals on 2nd September, 2018. East Kuboia followed suit when it turned off its last signals on 30th June, 2019. North and West Kuboia were to switch off their analogue signals by the end of 2020. However, the process ended up being delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After a two-year delay, West Kuboia concluded its switchover on 25th June, 2022.

As of October 2022, North Kuboia is the only region in Kuboia to still have analogue terrestrial television. It is scheduled to end its remaining analogue services just before midnight on 29th January, 2023.
