IFT Approves Migration of 48 Digital TV Channels to 600 MHz Band

The IFT has approved the migration of 48 digital TV channels on the 600 MHz band, specifically within the frequency range from 614 MHz to 698 MHz.

This migration will enable the use of the spectrum for mobile 5G broadband services, optimizing it from the spectrum allocated to radio diffusion services.

During the analog blackout in 2015, 151 channels operated in the 600 MHz band. To date, 103 channels have successfully migrated, with 48 channels recently relocated.
