DVBT In Malta

Two commercial terrestrial television licences were awarded in 2005 to Multiplus Ltd and Maltacom (now GO). In July 2005, Multiplus Ltd started commercial operations in direct competition to the existing dominant cable operator Melita utilising a total of 8 frequencies. Multiplus was acquired by GO in February 2007.

Digital switchover

Malta transitioned terrestrial broadcasts to digital television using the DVB-T standard in October 2011. In preparation for the transition, the Malta Broadcasting Authority developed a General Interest Objectives classification to determine which existing terrestrial channels would be assigned to the digital subchannels of the new digital free-to-air broadcasting system.

Free-to-air television in Malta is distributed through a network of transmitters operated by the national broadcaster Public Broadcasting Services in Delimara (Marsaxlokk), Nadur, Mellieħa, Mtarfa, Naxxar and Portomaso (St. Julian's). Since 2017, all terrestrial channels are carried as digital subchannels of UHF channel 43.Previously they were carried on UHF channel 66.

The channels licensed for free-to-air digital broadcast are TVM, TVMNews+, Parliament TV, One, NET Television, Smash Television, F Living, and Xejk.[7]
