In a statement from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), officials revealed that licences underpinning digital terrestrial television (DTT) multiplexes are currently guaranteed only until that year, with no final decision made about what happens thereafter. Freeview serves approximately 13.6 million households, accounting for 40% of UK TV viewers.
