Television is an advertising medium as is the Internet....Facebook, Google, etc all rely on advertising. There is no free TV or free Internet. We as consumers all pay either directly or indirectly.

If I am an advertiser, and I want my audience to be KBC viewers, I would put my advert on KBC and not GOtv. In the same breadth, the "aerial" providers should not be able to dictate a user's viewing experience. If I'm viewing KBC via Startimes, at no time should I see Startimes or ElimuTV or Citizen TV related advert without me the viewer switching stations.
