The deal was set to last for seven years with KPL clubs expected to benefit financially. Under that agreement, each club was entitled to receive 6.5 million shillings annually
The Kenyan Ministry of Sports has declined to cover the costs associated with the Free-to-Air broadcasting deal between the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) and the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC). Signed last November by the then Cabinet Secretary Ababu Namwamba, this agreement was to ensure that Kenyan Premier League (KPL) matches are easily accessible to a wider audience thereby promoting the league across the nation.
This brings to a standstill the anxiousness of the fans as to why the league had started and KBC was not showcasing any match. The league started late August and will be heading to game week five after the international break.
The deal was set to last for seven years with KPL clubs expected to benefit financially. Under that agreement, each club was entitled to receive 6.5 million shillings annually from the FKF-KBC partnership.
Additionally, clubs are set to earn 3.5 million shillings per year from the pay TV channel Azam.
