On July 8th, the government and broadcasting officials have decided to proceed
toward digitalization by using the US ATSC transmitting method.
Currently, the metropolitan areas such as Seoul, Inchon, and Kyounggi have been the testing location for the new method. By the end of August, the test areas will expand to the cities of Busan, Daegu, Kwangju, Daejon, and Ulsan. Therefore, the officials hope that 80% of Korean viewers will watch television via digital broadcast.
