Modernisation in Bhutan Broadcasting Service
33
With the studio facilities already digital, BBS is considering going fully tapeless soon. There is enormous development in digitalisation of studio and production facilities. However this is not complimented by transmission, where BBS is still striving to increase its analogue terrestrial coverage and has not yet done anything on digital terrestrial transmission. Though digital transmission may help reduce a lot of problems faced by BBS terrestrially, it is not seen as a solution at this point, especially because of financial constraints and lack of in-house technical capabilities. In
order to cope with this BBS is looking for some assistance to explore the possibilities of doing some test transmissions on digital terrestrial television so as to understand its applicability in Bhutan and to build in-house technical capability.
BBS, as one of the youngest broadcasters in the world, has come a long way and is committed to its further development.
