analogue transmission and migrate to digital platform with immediate effect,
the Communications Authority has said.</p>

deadlines remain as set by the regulator that CA will forcibly switch off any
media house that fails to comply with the directive.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In Nairobi and major towns, the media houses will have to
switch off immediately since the deadlines to migrate had been set for 31
December 2014 and February 2, 2015.</p>

outlying towns like Garissa, Kapenguria, Kabarnet, Migori, Voi and Namanga will
be finally switched off analogue.</p>
