The French state has signed an agreement with the government of the Principality of Monaco about the shutdown of the analogue transmitters of TMC, Tele Monte Carlo.
TMC is a private commercial broadcaster operating under a Monegasque licence. Originally, its transmitters were only situated in the Principality, but in order to improve reception, TMC also has transmitters on French soil.
Under the agreement, TMC will close down all its remaining analogue transmitters on November 29, 2011, the date that France will switch off all its remaining analogue TV transmitters.
At the moment, TMC is already available nationwide as a free-to-air channel on the digital terrestrial network, in Fr ace known as TNT.
