MANILA, Philippines – Broadcasting giant GMA Network Inc. said it is prepared for the government’s planned shutdown of analog television broadcasts in Mega Manila this November, thanks to the already extensive reach of its digital transmission network.
All analog television broadcasts in Mega Manila are scheduled to be switched off by Nov. 22 under a National Telecommunications Commission memorandum circular issued last year. This covers Metro Manila, Bulacan, Rizal, Laguna, Cavite, Pampanga and Bataan.

Despite the broad scope of the transition, GMA president and CEO Gilberto Duavit Jr. expressed little concern over signal coverage once analog transmissions are discontinued.
