Three pay television firms are under probe for blocking some regional broadcast channels from airing the 2022 World Cup matches in Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda.

The Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (Comesa) Competition Commission said Multichoice Africa Holdings, Azam Media Limited and StarTimes Group also failed to compensate consumers in the three East African countries for the outage.
