Kenyan DStv subscribers missed the Winter Olympics 2026 due to Canal+'s acquisition of MultiChoice, which has shifted all content acquisition decisions from SuperSport to Canal+ headquarters in Paris, France.

• The decision to not broadcast the Winter Olympics 2026 and other events like the World Darts Championships was made by Canal+'s Chief Content Officer in Paris due to cost-cutting measures.
• Veteran broadcasting journalist Thinus Ferreira revealed that Canal+ has "taken away all of the acquisition power from SuperSport."
• Canal+ is reportedly under pressure to cut costs, and with limitations on retrenching staff for three years, their focus has shifted to reducing content acquisition expenses, potentially impacting the availability of "premium" sports content despite premium subscription prices.

The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) has initiated Kenya’s first trial of Digital Sound Broadcasting (DSB) in Nairobi, marking a significant shift in the country's media landscape. This move, coinciding with World Radio Day 2026, aims to alleviate severe frequency congestion and introduce high-fidelity audio to listeners.

• Over 300 licensed radio services have saturated the VHF Band II (87.5–108.0 MHz) in urban areas, prompting this digital transition.
• The CA's framework focuses on DAB+ in VHF Band III (174–230 MHz) and DRM in the HF band (30 MHz).
• Mast Rental Services Ltd, one of two authorized licensees, has launched a DAB+ trial network carrying 14 radio programs in Nairobi.
• The shift promises "CD-quality" sound, reduced transmission costs for broadcasters, and new revenue streams, with a phased rollout ensuring no immediate analogue switch-off.
