<P><FONT face=Verdana><STRONG>Digital UK</STRONG> has announced that the West
Country TV region will start the switch to digital terrestrial television on
April 8, 2009. Analogue broadcasts will be turned off first at the Beacon Hill
transmitter group, followed by the Stockland Hill transmitter group on May 6,
2009. The remaining transmitter groups will follow between July and September
2009 to compete switchover in the region.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>The West Country will follow the Scottish Borders, which
will become the first television region to switch to digital television on
November 6. On that date the first analogue TV signals will be turned off from
the Selkirk group of transmitters and replaced with a stronger digital signal;
the rest will switch a month later. The remaining areas of the Border television
area will switch in the second quarter of 2009.</FONT></P>
