No more 2 in the Dominican Republic.
Teleantillas will move to channel 10 by year's end, according to a bunch of news articles from late June. Grupo de Medios Corripio has been working with Indotel for more than a year to make the move happen, inspired by other Central American countries where there have been high-VHF drop-ins in recent years. Indotel confirmed on June 27 that this was happening and that it had issued a construction permit to test the channel. Corripio owns the adjacent channel 11, but not channel 9.
The move will see Teleantillas leave channel 2 after 39 years of telecasting. The change could be beneficial in two ways, allowing the network to use less transmission power and maybe boost its ratings, according to Dominican telecom expert Eduardo Evertz. As fewer Dominicans use outdoor antennas, the signal may be an easier catch on high-VHF.
With the RD digital transition set for 2021, Teleantillas could conceivably flash-cut on 10 instead of 2.
