Pay-television provider DStv lost 22,450 customers in the three months ended March this year, piling pressure on the broadcaster amid stiff competition from streaming services and free-to-air TV.

Fresh data from the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) shows DStv had 248,053 customers at the end of March 2026, an 8.3 percent drop from 270,017 in December last year.
