I will not pretend to be tech savvy so i will not repeat what everyone has so eloquently extrapolated.. -

However just like the West we will have 100"s of stations and choice will increase 100 fold and ofcourse content.

I had a chance of meeting the Honcho of Citizen TV sometime back in London during a forum and questioned his strategy of paying presenters 600/700/800K P/M, why not hire strategists and pay them that amount, and you will leverage your exposure to this lot. "Kijana you are too young to understand this market and industry we operate in" Indulge me i countered - that was the end of that needless to say..

So now my question is - Would i be wrong in assuming there is ZERO value from this lot with 300k + twitter followers in the current stand-off? I guess we both know the answer to that.

Now the the various anchors/presenters, if you cannot create content then you are well and truly f***ED.. This will bite hard, poleni lakini.

The plot thickens ,while one group was out gun blazing demanding to the owners of PANG a "macharia" quietly registered Africa digital network with half shareholding thus locking out NMG and standard media group

[quote]Yesterday CA warned that it will revoke the broadcasting licenses of NTV, KTN and Citizen TV if they do not return on air.

Wangusi said they wrote to the three last week asking them to switch on their stations, especially on digital platforms, and will remind them tomorrow.

“If they are not going to do so we are prepared to take a regulatory action against them, including revocation of the broadcasting licences,” said Wangusi.

The computers at Nation Centre are more than this. So even those who are supposed to be 'monitoring news' are not even watching
