The High Court has put off the digital migration of TV scheduled for this Friday until December 23, when a ruling on the case challenging the move will be made.
The injunction could be extended if the ruling in the case filed by Nation Media Group, Royal Media Services, and the Standard Media Group would not be ready then.
The media houses are challenging the proposed switch-off on grounds that it is unconstitutional and that the illegality in the process be addressed before it becomes effective on Friday.
Earlier Tuesday, Justice David Majanja had declined to assent to the plea by the three media houses to have the digital migration suit determined by three judges, saying he could handle it.
