MCTV Digital

MCTV Digital was a Galarian digital terrestrial television broadcaster which launched a pay-TV service on the Pokemon world's first digital terrestrial television network. Its main shareholders were Rose Television and Macro Cosmos Media, owners of several franchises of the MCTV network. Starting as Rotom Digital in 1998, the service was re-branded as MCTV Digital in July 2001. Low audience figures, piracy issues and an ultimately unaffordable multi-billion Poke-Yen deal with the Battle League led to the broadcaster suffering massive losses, forcing it to enter administration in March 2002. Pay television services ceased permanently on 1 May 2002, and the remaining free-to-air channels such as GBC One and Channel 4 had ceased when the company was liquidated in October. The terrestrial multiplexes were subsequently taken over by Devon Corporation and the GBC to create Freeview later that month.
