Beyond this date, there is currently no decision on whether terrestrial television will continue or be replaced entirely by internet-based alternatives. In a recent statement, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) clarified that digital terrestrial television (DTT) multiplex licenses were extended until 2034 following a 2021 consultation, but the future beyond that remains undecided.
