ICYMI: The Public Media Alliance says the government should ensure poorer households have access to free set-top boxes before they can completely switch off analogue signal.

The government had set a target of March 2022 to complete digital migration.

Harry Lock is the editorial manager at Public Media Alliance and his organisation monitors and shares public broadcaster challenges. It has members from across the world. Although his organisation supports digital migration – he says it will have a negative impact on public media and poorer communities.

More poor households will have no access to information if they cannot afford the set-top boxes either. Lock says failures surrounding digital migration in South Africa is the lack of transparency and information regarding the set-top boxes.
