[kictanet] 3 Media houses protest Majanja's Digital Migration Ruling

[Grace Githaiga]

NTV Kenya‪#‎DigitalMigration‬: The Big Switch-offIn the High Court sitting in Nairobi Monday, Justice David Majanja dismissed a petition by three media houses - the Standard Group, Nation Media Group and Royal Media- to have the digital migration postponed until certain critical issues spelt out in the petition are resolved. He dismissed the case and as a consequence digital migration takes effect immediately.In compliance with that judgement, we (the Media Owners' Association) are left with no option but to go off-air. We have instructed our lawyers to appeal against the High Court decision in the Court of Appeal. At the same time, we are pursuing other avenues to resolve the issue so that you can continue watching your favourite television station. We hope to be back on air as soon as possible.
