The final three Sky channels carried on BSkyB's analogue service, Sky Premier, Sky One and Sky Sports 2, will be switched off at midnight tomorrow. The leases on the associated transponders have been terminated.
A release from the company said: "This marks the final step in BSkyB’s transition to a digital service, which began with the launch of Sky digital in October 1998. BSkyB initially planned for analogue switch-off by 31 December 2002. Switch-over has, instead, been achieved 15 months early."
Commenting on the announcement, Tony Ball, Chief Executive of BSkyB said: “Sky is now operating a fully digital system and continues to offer the best value and the widest choice in digital television.???
