Pay TV providers will air only Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) as a free-to-air channel if proposed broadcast regulations are adopted.
The task force reviewing broadcasting regulations made the proposal today, Nation reports, adding that the move would reduce the cost burden to broadcasters like NTV, Citizen TV and KTN.
“The rationale for reducing the minimum number of must-carry channels is to reduce the cost burden to the non-digital terrestrial pay TV service providers, who have to meet the consent-related costs and satellite transporter/bandwidth costs,” said the proposal on the review of broadcasting regulations.
