On Wednesday 2 May, New Zealand will launch its Digital Terrestrial Television service, Freeview. The “switch-on” event is to be held at the Auckland Museum for invited guests, members of the broadcasting industry, and the media. It will start the transition from analogue to digital and is arguably the most significant event in New Zealand broadcasting since the launch of colour television in 1974.

In addition to the Freeview “switch-on” there will be presentations from the Minister of Broadcasting, Steve Maharey, and Freeview management, as well as a display of broadcasting technology from the last 40-years.
