2nd Phase - 22 March 2012


Autonomous Regions of Azores and Madeira

Transmitters and relays of the Autonomous Region of the Azores (listed in Annex 2) and of Madeira (listed in Annex 3).

To ensure fairness in the treatment of the Autonomous Regions, cessation of analogue terrestrial transmissions should occur on the same date.

It is not feasible that all stations are disconnected at the same time, whereas, in a first phase, the 5 transmitters of the Azores and the transmitter in Madeira will be switched off on 22 March. In the Autonomous Region of the Azores, and since the transmitters are spread over eight islands, they should be shut down within the 15 subsequent days, while in Madeira the relays shall be switched off within 7 subsequent days.
