The delay in migration has affected us so much because consumers in Kenya have not been sensitized on the benefits of digital platform and so they did on willingly migrate. The three main broadcasters concentrated on frustrating the migration process and did not air anything on the discussion. Majority of Kenyan have been made to believe that the chines company is being favored against our local media houses.</div><div dir="ltr">In the meantime Elimu TV and others could not get advertisements because the advertisers work on numbers. We have also been paying Signet and Startimes monthly fees for carrying us and relaying our content to available free to air set boxes.</div><div dir="ltr"> It time that Government and its agencies start to support other Digital TV Channels with advertisements.
