Currys, Dixons and PC World will stop selling analogue televisions to focus on digital TV sets.

The retailers said that more than 90 per cent of televisions sold are digital.

Currys managing director Paul Keenan said: “We believe that this is appropriate to ensure that our customers are able to select from a future-proof range of televisions.”

The full digital switch over will be complete in the UK by 2012, through managing body Digital UK. Digital UK chief executive Ford Ennals said: “Retailers of all sizes have a vital role to play in ensuring their products and their customers are ready.”
