The High Court on Wednesday, April 16, temporarily halted revocation of Standard Group's broadcasting licenses by the Communications Authority of Kenya, pending hearing on May 2.
The latest development comes after The Standard Group PLC, which owns KTN, claimed that the government, through the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA), was planning to revoke its broadcasting license.
Through an announcement made during the 9 pm bulletin, the media company revealed it had received a notice from the CA announcing the revocation of its license for allegedly failing to pay a Ksh43 million fee.
The media house, which filed a petition at the High Court, is set for a reprieve following the court's latest directive.
