SDN S4C Digital Networks is a company that operates multiplexer Multiplex A, one of the six groups of channels on digital terrestrial television in the United Kingdom . Despite its name, the company is now owned by ITV plc . History When digital terrestrial television was first launched in the UK, it was decided that Multiplex A must carry Five TV Channel 5 nationally, S4C in Wales and TeleG in Scotland. The right to operate the multiplex and therefore the rest of the space was to be given to the highest bidder. S4C who were already guaranteed their gifted space on the multiplex , United News and Media and NTL set up S4C Digital Networks each owned one third of the company and bid for the right to operate Multiplex A. In the event, they were the only bidder and, after having their business plan approved, were awarded the licence to operate Multiplex A by the Independent Television Commission in 1997. Before their licence became active, the name of the company was changed from S4C Digital Networks to SDN ref http onhistory.mattaustin.co.uk GOlink ?linkid 113&category 04 ONhistory Timeline ref . Upon the activation of the licence in 1998, SDN began broadcasting Multiplex A in 64 QAM mode at 24 megabits second which allows many channels to broadcast, though makes it more difficult to get a good signal . They rented out their capacity to various free and subscription channels though S4C did keep their gifted space in Wales to launch S4C2 . After the launch of Freeview UK Freeview to replace ITV Digital , the free services carried on Multiplex A became effectively part of Freeview. As SDN was not a member of the Freeview consortium, they were technically not part of the service though they were available to all Freeview viewers .
