scher Rundfunk. The two Munich Olympic Tower and Wendelstein trans-
mitters form the SFN Southern Bavaria which was taken into operation in
the night of the 30th May 2005. At the same time, this was the end of ana-
log terrestrial television in Southern Bavaria. The Munich Olympic Tower
and the Wendelstein transmitters broadcast 6 DVB-T channels completely
synchronously on the same frequencies as DVB-T single frequency net-
work. The data rates are about 13 Mbit/s each and each carries about 4 TV
programs per data stream. Altogether, the viewer is thus provided with 22
programs over terrestrial digital antenna TV. These TV programs, which
are both public service programs and private programs, form a viable al-
ternative to the satellite and cable media. The transmitting frequencies are
located both in the VHF band and in the UHF band.
