Kenya will not be able to meet its self imposed deadline of switching the to digital television by June this year. CCK had set the June deadline anticipating that supporting technology would have been rolled out by then but the acting director general, Mr Francis Wangusi, acknowledged that the country had progressed slowly and it will be difficult to switch to digital even by the end of the year. The deadline for the global switch over is 2015.
State broadcaster KBC had been given the mandate to create a signal distribution network but has not been able to go outside Nairobi.
