This paper provides a situational analysis of the practical implications of the digital transition in Kenya. To migrate to digital broadcasting, Kenya (government, broadcast companies, and media consumers) had to purchase equipment compatible with the digital platform, a move that proved costly to the majority of Kenyans given the high costs of purchase, installation, and maintenance of digital equipment. The research established that Kenya was not ready for the migration from analogue to digital broadcasting. The review found out that most of the local media houses as well as the majority of Kenyans were not ready to embark on the transition from analogue to digital broadcasting. These results would enable major players in the broadcasting sector to understand the course and implications of digital migration. The research also presents a better foundation upon which other scholars in the field of communication can build their studies and delve into different aspects ofthe topic at hand. 2024-05-09T09:22:59Z 2024-05-09T09:22:59Z 2015-12 Article Biwott S. & Nyamboga E.
