List of television stations in Malaysia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Television broadcasting in Malaysia is provided by the federal government and respective private broadcasting companies. Analog television transmissions were completely turned off on 31 October 2019 and replaced with full MYTV Digital TV broadcast using DVB-T2 technology.[1] The switchover was done in stages by region, which began with the Central and Southern regions on 30 September 2019, the Northern and Eastern regions on 14 October 2019, and Sabah and Sarawak on 31 October 2019.[2] The Service Level Availability (SLA) for digital TV transmissions currently stands at 99.9%.[3]
The first trial broadcasts of digital TV started in 2006 by a government-owned television broadcaster, Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM). Some local TV channels have been broadcasting shows in HD for special occasions since 2008. Free-to-air and subscription-based television channels in Malaysia are available in HD standards through terrestrial, satellite, and IP, as well as over OTT platforms.
Currently, there are only two free-to-air digital terrestrial platforms in Malaysia with high-definition channels: MYTV and NJOI.
