Disruption to Digital Television Broadcast Service on Cocos (Keeling) Islands—Update

Number: D18/2020

Relevant: Cocos (Keeling) Island

Topic: Disruption to Digital Television Broadcast Service on Cocos (Keeling) Islands—Update

Date: 14 May 2020

Further to Community Bulletin D17/2020, I would like to update the community on the status of the Digital Television Broadcast Service on Cocos (Keeling) Islands.

The service provider is currently working to restore as many digital television channels as possible while undertaking repair works to the broadcasting equipment. It is expected that the television broadcast services on both Home and West Islands will remain affected for at least the next 48 hours.

Thank you for your understanding and patience whilst the repair works are being undertaken.
