Over 80 delegates comprising senior executives of at least 30 radio and television outfits across the region will descend on Guyana over the weekend for the Caribbean Broadcasting Union (CBU)’s 44th Annual General Assembly (AGA).
The digital television transition, also called the digital switchover or analogue switch-off, is the process in which analog television broadcasting is converted to and replaced by digital television.This primarily involves the conversion of analogue terrestrial television to digital terrestrial.
Only two media houses in Guyana –the state-owned National Communications Network (NCN) and WRHM – are part of the CBU.
According to Michael Gordon, NCN’s Chief Executive Officer (acting) and a Director of CBU, President Donald Ramotar is set to open the forum on Monday at the International Convention Centre, Liliendaal.
Also to be discussed in the AGA is the development in the digital media, including marketing and advertisements.
Radio and television broadcasting has gained more prominence recently after former President Bharrat Jagdeo, just days before leaving office in 2011, issued 11 radio licences to mainly friends and party members.
