Armenia To Switch To Digital Broadcasting By 2015

Armenia's ongoing controversial transition to digital broadcasting, which is significantly reducing the number of domestic TV and radio stations, will be completed by January 2015, the government said on Thursday.

Prime Minister Tigran Sarkisian's cabinet announced the date after approving basic parameters of digital transmitters that are due to be installed and operated by a single company.

The operator is to be chosen in an international tender already called by the government. Andranik Aleksanian, a deputy minister of transport and communications, told RFE/RL's Armenian service (Azatutyun.am) that ten local and foreign firms have already submitted preliminary bids.
