The end of analog television broadcasting is approaching. The SRG will cease analog transmission in French-speaking Switzerland on June 25, and the service will be switched off in German-speaking Switzerland from November 26. This means that anyone who does not receive their channels via cable or satellite will soon have to purchase a new receiver or decoder. According to SRG officials, only eight percent of Swiss households will be affected. If second sets in vacation homes and caravans are included, 27 percent of the population will be affected by the measure.
