Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) has ordered Michuzi TV, AYO TV and Global TV to stop online broadcasting (through Youtube) until regulations for digital television broadcasters are ready.
“According to section 13(1) of the Electronic and Postal Communications Act (Cap 306), Tanzania’s laws require providers of all such services to obtain permits from TCRA,” said the authority in circular.
In response to the orders, the owners of the digital platforms said they were ready to complete procedures of registration and went ahead to request for more time before the new regulations to take effect.
