Digital TV switch-over talks hit a snag

What you need to know:

  • In a phone interview, Cofek secretary-general Stephen Mutoro said his lobby had snubbed a meeting called by CCK on Thursday after it learned that the regulator was bringing on board other stakeholders to the table contrary to the court ruling.

Talks between the Communications Commission of Kenya and a consumer lobby intended to agree on a new timeline for digital migration have failed to start after fresh disagreements emerged between the warring parties.

The Consumer Federation of Kenya (Cofek) yesterday said the two parties are yet to begin talks more than two weeks after a high court ruling ordered them to come up with an agreeable date on the switch off of the analogue broadcast signal.
