More WA centres set for digital

Kalgoorlie, Karratha and Margaret River will be upgraded to digital services by the end of October.

The digital television rollout in regional Western Australia is continuing with another three transmission sites set to be upgraded by the end of October.

Kalgoorlie, Karratha and Margaret River will join Greater Bunbury in offering all 9 commercial digital services, including high definition channels 7mate, GEM and ONE.

This isn’t the first time Kalgoorlie and Karratha will see digital commercial television. The regional cities, along with Central Agricultural and Mingenew, were part of the failed digital rollout in 2010 which used a single transmitter for only 3 standard definition services – GWN7, WIN and TEN West.

Next on the agenda is Albany, which will go online by mid December.

  1. I’m still amazed so maybe remote areas don’t have access to the digital channel, shouldn’t really as I grew up in the center of this country and I remember how big a deal it was when the first commercial channel Imparja started. This is you another reason they should be available on Austar for those in remote areas.

  2. A few more transmitters in the WA ‘Wheatbelt’ would not go astray.And just to be picky…Your sign can’t be from WA,no Wombats in WA….Plenty of Dingbats but no Wombats.
