Some Asia-Pacific nations and regions have implemented NICAM
* [[China]]
** [[Hong Kong]] (commonly used for dual language for programming containing both Cantonese and English/Mandarin/Japanese/Korean soundtracks; full switchover to [[Digital Terrestrial Multimedia Broadcast|DTMB]] with Dolby AC-3 audio encoding complete by 1 December 2020, NICAM became historical from that date)
** [[Macau]] (commonly used for dual language for programming containing both Cantonese and Portuguese/English/Mandarin/Japanese/Korean soundtracks; full switchover to DTMB with MPEG-1 Audio Layer II audio encoding complete by 30 June 2023, NICAM became historical from that date)
* [[Malaysia]]
** Formerly used by [[Radio Televisyen Malaysia|TV1, TV2]], [[ntv7]], [[8TV (Malaysia)|8TV]], and [[TV9 (Malaysia)|TV9]] around Klang Valley. [[TV3 (Malaysia)|TV3]] also used NICAM on their VHF transmission frequency (Channel 12) in the Klang Valley, but used Zweikanalton on their UHF transmission frequency (Channel 29). Analog shutdown complete by 1 January 2019, thus NICAM and Zweikanalton broadcast became historical from that date.
* [[New Zealand]] (Full switchover to DVB-T complete by 1 December 2013. NICAM became historical from that date.)
* [[Indonesia]]
** Most national television networks in Indonesia used NICAM for analogue television. Analog shutdown complete by August 12, 2023, thus NICAM became historical from that date.
* [[Singapore]] (Used on [[Mediacorp Channel U]]. Full switchover to DVB-T2 complete by 1 January 2019. NICAM became historical from that date.)
* [[Sri Lanka]]
* [[Thailand]]
** Used on [[Channel 3 (Thailand)|Channel 3]], [[Channel 9 MCOT HD]] and [[Thai Public Broadcasting Service|Thai PBS]], usually broadcast in dual-sound mode with sometimes in stereo mode. All analogue television service ceased since March 26, 2020. Switchover to terrestrial [[DVB-T2]] with HE-AAC v2 codec, NICAM became historical from that date.
Some other countries use [[Zweikanalton]] analogue stereo instead. Analogue stereo conversion thus begins.
