Media Monitoring Africa (MMA) and SOS Support Public Broadcasting Coalition (SOS) said it joined e.tv in filing an affidavit at the High Court of South Africa. This affidavit comes after the latest postponement of the Analogue Switch-off (ASO) to 31 March 2025.
In a statement on Monday, MMA and SOS said, “The affidavit addresses the devastating impact of the premature ASO on the public, the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC), community television broadcasters and the exclusion of MMA and SOS from regular consultations with broadcasters.”
