Abstract
Digital TV is particularly relevant in the advance of media. It is considered one of the greatest changes in TV technology since the invention of television in the 1930s. The use of TV, as well as the production of TV programs, has undergone massive changes. The development of Digital TV in Saudi Arabia was successful under hard conditions in Middle East countries in this period. This study concerns Saudi Arabia’s transition from analog TV to DTV, and how other countries in the Middle East can learn from this transition.
