Communications Authority, ICT Ministry violating broadcasters’ rights, say media houses

ICT Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i wants CA to take action on KTN, NTV, Citizen and QTV following switch off of digital platforms.

Nairobi: The three media houses affected by the shutdown of analogue signals have blamed the Communications Authority of Kenya of conspiring to force them avail their channels to pay TV service providers.

Reacting to ICT Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i claim that the stations switched themselves off digital platforms and that they would be penalised, the stations said all that amounts to intimidation and violation of rights.
