High-definition Television In Singapore
High-definition television in Singapore is currently in early adoption phase.
Although many households in Singapore own HD ready or Full HD television sets most of the free-to-air channels in Singapore still broadcast in SDTV. There are plans to increase the number of free-to-air high-definition channels in Singapore when the analogue channels are discontinued following complete digital switchover between 2015 to 2020. In 2007, Singapore's national broadcaster MediaCorp announced plans to broadcast all its channels in high-definition by 2012.

Famous quotes containing the word television:
“There was a girl who was running the traffic desk, and there was a woman who was on the overnight for radio as a producer, and my desk assistant was a woman. So when the world came to an end, we took over.”
