What changed
After courts annulled the 2022 local digital terrestrial TV (TDT) license awards in 45 of 62 Andalusian coverage areas, this emergency decree creates a provisional authorization scheme so affected broadcasters can keep transmitting until a new public tender is completed within six months. It repeals the previous transitional Ley 1/2021, which had served the same purpose.
Who is affected
Private companies and individuals who held local TDT broadcasting licenses under the annulled 2022 award in areas covering 78% of Andalusia's population. Ordinary residents in those 45 areas are indirectly protected — local TV channels will not go dark during the transition.
What to look out for
→ Affected TDT license holders must apply through the Junta de Andalucía's electronic register within one month of the decree's entry into force to obtain the provisional authorization. No action needed from the general public.
