In these moments, the TDT, it comes to only 60 % of the Canary hearths but, "the commitment is to close the year with 80 % of coverage", tells the director of the chain who remembers the special difficulty that presents the Canary orography to introduce this new technology. This new project is provided with a shy budgetary bet since it has cost 60.000 euros for the technical connection, to what it is necessary to add the monthly payment for the diffusion of the sign. "The contents have been financed by the same general budget of the Canary Television", the director exhibits.
