45. Agenda Provincial Landscape Turnaround Strategy Universal Access Provincial Input Digital Migration 1 2 3 4 5

46. Digital Migration to ensure a successful commercial launch of the DTT platform it will be critical for the SABC –as the national public broadcaster - to embrace and lead on the transition to digital in order to ensure its continued success and viability going forward • The SABC’s move to DTT is driven by the following: • A government mandated process for all analogue terrestrial broadcasters to migrate to DTT and for the resulting migration from analogue to digital to be completed by December 2013 • The SABC needs to remain competitive (for audience and revenue) in a multi-channel, multi-platform, digital environment • The SABC’s content strategy to leverage the content and rights acquired more effectively by being able to distribute this content across multiple channels • The SABC’s strategy to increase its focus on public service delivery which requires the rollout of more services and the use of new technologies to enable better language delivery, for example. • The SABC’s intention to position itself as a leader in digital broadcasting in Africa and as an innovative public broadcaster. • The commercial launch of the DTT platform is a key project for the SABC - not only will it provide consumers with a greater and more enhanced service from the SABC it will also require the SABC to think and behave as a digital broadcaster in a multi-platform, multi-channel environment.

47. Digital Migration to ensure a successful commercial launch of the DTT platform it will be critical for the SABC –as the national public broadcaster - to embrace and lead on the transition to digital in order to ensure its continued success and viability going forward • The SABC will make all SABC radio services available on the DTT platform as well as ancillary and interactive services. Ancillary services include the ability to do multiple subtitles and multiple audio, as well as audio description. Interactive applications include information services, children’s and educational games and weather services. • The inclusion of these services will not only drive platform value, but can be used to deliver public services in areas such as language delivery, education, and news, and, over a period develop revenue and job opportunities through new inventory and innovative commercial offerings such as interactive advertising • In order to make the migration to DTT, the SABC will be investing in an upgrade of its broadcast facilities, including the upgrade of the analogue Final Control Centres (FCC) and the development of a new multi-channel playout facility. • Lastly, the move to digital enables the SABC to improve TV license collection (or offset collection costs) by using STB Control technology to enhance collection. Should TV Licenses not be a source of funding for the SABC in the future, DTT will offer the impetus for public funding as it will enable an increased delivery of the SABC public service mandate

49. Conclusion • as Provinces our approach is it ensure that we offer an extension of the SABC services to the provinces. • 1/3 of SABC business resides in the Provinces, around 82% of the SABC audiences are found outside Gauteng and 32% of SABC’s revenue is derived from the Provinces . • Out of the 18 Radio Stations, only 5 are based in Auckland Park. • SABC News is the only source of news and information– and in many others the only media in the community’s home languages, 83% of News content. • The Public Broadcaster therefore plays an important and a special role in people’s lives especially in rural communities.
