50 Years of TV Broadcast

Issue date 22 Nov 2013

Overview

Television has entered its golden age, as Singapore commemorates 50 years of TV broadcasting this year. As TV marks its golden jubilee, Singapore will enter a new chapter in its television broadcasting history. From the end of 2013, Singapore's free-to-air TV will switch from analogue to digital TV. Razor-sharp images and superior audio will become a reality, when all seven free-to-air channels are transmitted digitally using the Digital Video Broadcasting - Second Generation Terrestrial (DVB-T2) broadcasting standard. The move will prepare Singapore for the future of TV, paving the way for more high-definition channels and new services that local viewers can enjoy for many years to come. This stamp issue features the significant milestones of the journey in the 50 years of TV broadcasting.
