Prepare the analog switch for 2019

This was confirmed by Hernan Lombardi, head of the Federal System of Public Media and Content, to the local radio station Mitre, during his visit to the province of Corrientes. "From 2018 we’ll start with a strong campaign, at the end of this year will be the blackout and from 1 January 2019 will only air the digital format," he said.

In addition, Lombardi confirmed that Football for All will remain free throughout the country and said that in late July will announce the new programming of Canal Encuentro, Paka Paka-and DeporTV. “Zamba will continue but will change the content because it had a very political message and with a clear objective of propaganda," the official said.
