Time to retune Almerian TV

THIS month is time to retune to pick up Spanish TV.
The digital terrestrial television, or TDT, frequencies are changing in Almeria, meaning TVs will need to be re-tuned to pick up the Spanish channels.
The change is being implented in 42 municipalities on Wednesday September 18. These include Albanchez, Albox, Antas, Arboleas, Bedar, Cantoria, Cuevas del Almanzora, Chirivel, Los Gallardos, Garrucha, Huercal-Overa, Mojacar, Oria, Partaloa, Pulpi, Velez-Rubio, Vera and Zurgena.
The frequency change will happen in the remaining 61 municipalities on the last day of September.
