Today it has taken a different course after Communication Council abolished temporal digital broadcasting licenses given to the four Television Broadcasts.
The CA(K) board reached a decision after involved media stations, continued to air cautionary advert, advising their viewers against buying digital set top boxes, sold by GOtv and Startimes companies.
Media Owners Association (MOA) on the other hand, alleges CA(K) of being biased and preferring GOtv and Pan African group in the digital migration battles. And the four have sworn to challenge today’s court judgment by the CA(K) to withdraw its Digital License.
In relation to back and forth Digital Migration, Senate Majority Leader & Senator for Tharaka Nithi County, Kithure Kindike pushed his envelope through on the issue, saying that the Communications Authority of Kenya must stop frustrating local media houses at the expense of foreigners. He further asked the CA(K) to style up and be patriotic
Quoted;
"Communications Authority of Kenya must stop frustrating local media houses at the expense of foreigners. Style up and be patriotic"

#DigitalMigration gives us room to create more local content, create more employment. Saying that it will lead to loss of jobs is hogwash.
