The Royal Media Service now says that is yet to be notified of the reason behind the government's decision to throw it offline.
The company's Citizen and Inooro tv stations and their sister radio station Radio Citizen have since been switched off by the communication regulator Communication Authority (CA).
However, according to RMS Managing Director Wachira Waruru, the company which has now resorted to airing its programs through the social media, is deliberating with the government on the issue.
''We would like to confirm that this morning the Communication Authority disconnected Citizen and Inooro TV transmission.There has been no official communication as to why this action was taken,'' said Mr Waruru in a statement according to Citizen Digital.
''We are actively engaging the relevant government authorities to establish the reason for this action.We hope to resume normal transmission as soon as possible,'' he added.
Another broadcasting company, Nation Television (NTV) is also on the receiving end in a step likely to be in line with the state's warning to the stations against airing the controversial inauguration of the National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga.
On Monday, the state also threatened to revoke their licences should they defy the directive to snub Odinga's inauguration
