K-Net: Digital Terrestrial Television Network Operator in Ghana by Oscar Nichor

Oscar Nichor, Chief Operations Officer (TV Broadcast) at K-Net, explains what is DTT (digital terrestrial television).

“DTT stands for digital terrestrial television. There are many technologies employed in broadcasting. Digital terrestrial television involves transmitters on the ground that are able to radiate radio waves which people pick up with their normal TV and normal antenna, either on the rooftop or on top of their TV in the room. DTT became a technology en vogue in Africa because even in the analog regime, a majority of African countries traditionally received television services this same way. We decided that if we were going digital, then we should still provide the same reception modes to enable people to have the same kind of experience that they had in the analog days and not struggle for reception”, says Oscar Nichor.
