BBC launches 1st DTV channel, tomorrow........................... The BBC will kick off the digital TV era on Wednesday with the new channel, BBC Choice. It will join BBC One, BBC Two and BBC News 24 as the first four channels to be broadcast on Britain's digital satellite and terrestrial services. The BBC's digital programme was launched at Television Centre in London by Director-General Sir John Birt, who promised more services would quickly follow. "Free for every household" He said: "This commitment to public service broadcasting will ensure the BBC brings the benefits of digital broadcasting to every household, not just to those who can pay extra." But the new channel, to be launched at 1200 (1100GMT) on Wednesday, will not be a ratings winner until 1 October when the equipment to pick up digital broadcasts will be in the shops. Decoders for the ONDigital terrestrial service, which will also carry ITV's digital services, go on sale in November. Digital cable services will start soon after. BBC Choice, which launches on Wednesday, will be the BBC's first free general entertainment channel since BBC Two's launch in 1964. It will offer back-up for programmes already seen on BBC One and BBC Two. More.................................. news.bbc.co.uk
