The country’s decade-long broadcasting
digital migration (BDM) project is again before the courts, as eMedia-owned Etv, joined by public interest non-government organisations Media Monitoring Africa (MMA) and SOS Support Public Broadcasting (SOS Coalition), seek another deadline deferment.
Earlier this week, the court heard arguments from Etv, MMA and the SOS Coalition’s legal counsel, which noted that “millions” of South Africans will no longer have access to TV services should the deadline proceed.
