What happens during the period of simultaneous analogue and digital terrestrial broadcasting, commonly known as simulcast?
• This is a period during which the population will be prepared for the definitive transition and during which transmissions of analogue and digital television will coexist, meaning that users will still be able to receive terrestrial TV through their existing equipment, but may also receive the new digital broadcasts, if they have equipment for this purpose. In Ghana it is being stipulated that this period will be not less than 12 months in each area concerned, i.e. once digital broadcasting is begun in your area of residence, analogue broadcasting will remain available simultaneously for a minimum period of 12 months.
