In the intermediate cities and towns with a population greater than 40 thousand inhabitants, it will be executed two years later (November 30th, 2023), and throughout the country on the same day 2025.

This week, the Bolivian Public Works, Services and Housing  Ministry organized a workshop with representatives of media and TV in the country, where they defined the production of TV and radio spots and different posts on social networks, which will be aimed at informing the country’s population about the transition from analogue TV to DTT.
