Albany, Manjimup and Mingenew will now receive digital signals for the three commercial television broadcasters and their digital multi-channels:

•    GWN7, 7Two and 7Mate

•    WIN, GO! and Gem

•    TenWest, OneHD and 11

These will complement the existing digital ABC and SBS services.

GWN7/Prime7 Chief Executive Officer Doug Edwards (pictured) welcomed the new digital era: “Regional WA viewers will now be able to enjoy the whole digital experience. Put simply, this means more choice of free-to-air television with superior quality picture and sound. With the addition of 7Two and 7Mate, we are now offering greater choice for our audience”.

“Digital coverage will be progressively rolled out in Regional WA through to early 2012” said Edwards.

WIN Television Manager Legal, Regulatory & Network Affairs Shirley Brown said “the roll out of the full suite of digital channels has been a long wait for the viewers of regional WA, we are pleased that the wait is nearly over and viewers will receive the same services as viewers in Perth have received for some time.”
