From my reading of the script, it appears the 3 media houses think that they will force us to buy their own set top boxes in addition to the ones we already have. In other words they want to make money at our expense. Why can't they wake up to realisation that virtually all Kenyans by now have the boxes, and no one is ready to buy a second one - they are not very appealing in any case.

If the must carry means that the signal distributors must carry the local free to air signals the please draw for me the business model for BSD as I'm sure they aren't charities and have bills to pay. Does it also mean that they're obligated to carry ALL FTA?

my take is that why is cak or the 3 media not promoting uptake of digital tvs?those with inbuilt tuners,they should be zero rated or something Tanzania gave out the boxes for free, the 3 media houses want a piece of the set box purchases.if china sets its deadline to 2018 why is Kenya in a rush?

Its up to them to come up with innovative ways to make money, that's why some have two options a pay tv box and a free to air box - and even some of the ones that are completely free for now, have added a ka smart card on their boxes for scaling options in the future.

I think the deadlines were set for the whole WORLD to migrate to the digital platform, and also to avail the same resources to the upcoming faster mobile network. I don't think kenya is in a rush, we are just trying to keep to the deadlines.

If they think that switching to Digital is going to be tough for their business, wait until the internet trully arrives. So tiring seeing "journalists" pushing crappy products like Mapasho, Nairobi News etc. Wangoje tu. We have seen this movie before. Content belongs to all not just these so called Big 3. Mambo ya monopoly of information just has to end. Jose: If I make it through this thug life, I'll see you one day. The Lord is the only way to stop the hurt.

Love me or Hate me I dont care but I think the real issue behind the big switch-off is for the government to divert attention from the real issue at hand, that is the 'the chicken scandal" case involving the IEBC and KNEC. This is a case that Kenyans would have had a big interest on given that IEBC has been a big topic to the point that it is one of the agendas in the referendum bills. The government fears losing public support in this case since they fully depend on the IEBC for their 2017 agenda as it is. So watch this space. After the switch of saga which will last only two weeks, enough time for the government to re-arrange the prosecution files against the IEBC officials, it will be business as usual as kenyans will be busy "praising" the government for giving them back their favourite programs. Welcome to Kenya where the so called opposition is not even aware of this and are busy behaving just like the ordinary kenyan citizen. Making money never gets boring

Honestly I think you have called a spade what it is. And not only are they trying to black out the 'Chicken' scandal, they are also blacking out all of the other negative news that has been making rounds in the last couple of weeks. This is politics.

Are you for real? As in are you actually for real? Do you know when the digital migration issues began? Well before we knew about chickengate? Do you know when digital migration awareness began? Do you even know what you are saying? Am I actually even responding to you? Luck is when Preparation meets Opportunity. ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca
