Freeview HD multiplex to be renewed until November 2026

Ofcom is set to renew the BBC Free-to-View Limited licence to operate the BBCB Freeview HD multiplex, without charge for another twelve years from November 2014.

^{Brian Butterworth published on UK Free TV 24th September 2012 at 14:36}

Following an earlier consolation, Ofcom has now agreed to renew the licence for the "BBCB" multiplex (known as Multiplex B before switchover).

As this is used to carry the high definition versions of public services to 98.5% of the population of the UK, Ofcom will not be making a charge to BBC Free-to-View Limited.

Ofcom has also removed some of the requirements to fund Digital UK and promote digital switchover, as this will be complete shortly.

Help with High Definition?
