Etv media has sought to clarify before the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria that it does not seek to obstruct digital migration. This as Etv, together with Media Monitoring Africa (MMA) and SOS Support Public broadcasting Coalition have turned to the court to invalidate and halt the analogue switch off set for the end of the month. The applicants argue that if the decision to set the switch off deadline to 31 March 2025 is not reviewed and set aside, it will sever millions of South Africans’ access to television. Advocate Marcus Gilbert SC on behalf of Etv argued that the applicants support migration as long as it follows a lawful process.
