Kenya's digital TV uptake at 18 per cent
Wednesday, August 6th, 2014
The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) has told the country’s Star newspaper that take up of digital terrestrial TV set-top boxes (STBs) nationwide now stands at 18%, with conversion in Nairobi largely complete.
The authority said that combined sales of pay and free-to-air boxes had reached 738,312 boxes at the end of March. 687,806 of those STBs were bought for pay TV, but many of these will have been converted to free-to-air.
The deadline for full conversion to digital TV is June 2015. Kenya has around four million TV homes.
