According to the report, Deputy Minister of Communications, Ato Sarpong, said government has deployed the digital video broadcasting terrestrial 2 infrastructure in which each broadcasting firm will be given a specific frequency to operate with.
He added that “currently when you take a TV station… that terrestrial
TV network is assigned a frequency – a band to operate within, either a
Very High Frequency (VHF) or an Ultra High Frequency (UHF) band to
operate in. Now each broadcaster currently will be doing about six to
eight megahertz of spectrum in analog.”
