I don't follow your logic.
Nevertheless, I think the major media houses will be left alone in dark analogue system as, slowly but surely, Kenyans gradually discover that there are other broadcasters offering descent content for free.
Major churches are all broadcasting on digital - and you know how Kenyans love those preachers and gospel music.
Curiously, the NTV, KTN and CITIZEN have resorted to misinformation in their last-ditch efforts to remain analogue. They are spreading lies about the digital system: Ooh, sijui, the decoders cost 10k; ooh you need different decoders for different signal distributors, ooh you will be paying 3k per month to watch our programmes etc
It is sickening!!
Bottom line is that they feel cheated for spending hundreds of millions of shillings setting up transmission masts yet nowadays you cat start a TV broadcast station with 500k! Feed your signal to Signet, PANG or the new one (I think it's BAMBA) and voila; you're on air!
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.
