Dates confirmed for STV North (ne Grampian) transmitters

Next summer, the North of Scotland will become digital only, and with only two weeks to switch in each area.

^{Brian Butterworth published on UK Free TV 29th July 2009 at 08:00}

Digital UK has confirmed these days, which are within a few days each of those that have been listed on UK FREE TV for a few years now...

It is worth noting that the the Torosay group of transmitters has been split from the STV Central Black Hill group, and now appears in the "North", rather than "Central" list.

These dates are those of the final switchover, with the BBC A multiplex (with ALL BBC services on it) being introduced only two weeks before. On the switchover date, the BBC B multiplex will carry the HD services, BBC HD, ITV HD, C4 HD and FIVE HD.
