UPDATE: Finally Citizen TV and Inooro Tv are back on air

Citizen TV and Inooro TV are back on air after ten days of shutdown.

The two TV stations owned by the Royal Media Services Ltd resumed normal programming on Thursday afternoon, February 8 after being off air since January 30, when the government switched off transmissions of four TV stations; Citizen TV, Inooro TV, NTV and KTN News.

Citizen TV was the first to go off-air with NTV being switched off shortly afterwards. KTN News was the third station affected, with its signal being switched off two hours later.

On Monday February, the Government switched on KTN and NTV Stations after activist Okiya Omtatah filed contempt proceedings against Interior CS Fred Matiang’i, Joe Mucheru and the Communications Authority board for failure to reopen the TV stations.

The TV stations had been switched off for providing live coverage of the controversial ‘swearing-in’ of NASA leader Raila Odinga as the ‘People’s President’.
