“Customers who fail to pay subscription fees on time will
continue to access the must-carry free-to-air services (FTA) for a
period of at least two weeks,” read a letter from CCK director-general
Francis Wangusi (pictured, below left) to pay-TV providers.
Through
the letter, CCK is reneging on an earlier agreement with Cofek that
made it compulsory for pay-TV companies to give subscribers access to
all free-to-air channels, even without a paid-up subscription.
This
agreement saw the providers introduce a new range of decoders that
would allow customers view all the FTA channels – KBC, NTV, KTN, K24 and
Citizen TV for free.
