The coverage of digital terrestrial television (DTT) has reached 75% of the population in 18 districts. The two free-to-air broadcasters will continue to build more transmitting stations to expand their digital network so that the ultimate coverage of DTT will be at least on a par with that of the existing analogue television broadcasting.

According to the plan of the two broadcasters, five fill-in stations, locating at Sheung Yeung Shan, Sai Wan Shan, Piper's Hill, Brick Hill and Beacon Hill, will be constructed this year. The newly covered areas include Tseung Kwan O, Sheung Yeung, Ha Yeung, Sheung Sze Wan, Chai Wan, Siu Sai Wan, Cheung Sha Wan, Sham Shui Po, Aberdeen, Shouson Hill, Repulse Bay, Chung Hom Kok, Hin Tin, Tai Wai, etc. The completion date of each fill-in station will be announced in due course.
