DStv Subscribers To Enjoy Between 33% To 50% Increased Value – Sam George

Ghanaian DStv customers are set to benefit from enhanced service packages after what the government has described as a major concession secured from MultiChoice Africa.

Minister for Communication, Digital Technology, and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, announced that MultiChoice Africa has introduced an “unprecedented increased value offer” tailored exclusively for Ghana.

The agreement comes after weeks of negotiations and regulatory pressure regarding the pricing and service structure of DStv in the country.

“MultiChoice Africa has committed to an unprecedented increase in value offer only in Ghana, which will see subscribers enjoying more services for less,” the Minister revealed. “Depending on the bouquet, customers will receive between 33% and 50% additional value.”

Under the revised structure, subscribers on the Paddy bouquet will be upgraded to Access, while Access subscribers will move to Family. Family bouquet users will advance to Compact, Compact subscribers will be upgraded to Compact Plus, and those on Compact Plus will enjoy the Premium bouquet.

For Premium subscribers, the package includes automatic entry into a draw to win an all-expenses-paid trip to Dubai.

The enhanced value plan will run for three months, after which a review will be undertaken by the stakeholder committee.

The announcement was made during a press briefing on Monday, September 29, 2025, where the Minister presented the committee’s report on DStv’s pricing and service delivery in Ghana.

The committee, set up by the National Communications Authority (NCA) on September 8, 2025, was tasked with assessing the fairness of DStv subscription fees and responding to public concerns about affordability.

The negotiations between government and MultiChoice had previously been tense, with the Minister warning of regulatory intervention if consumer-friendly measures were not introduced. MultiChoice had argued that operational and market conditions limited its flexibility.

With this new arrangement, the standoff appears to have softened, signaling a step towards a more balanced and collaborative approach between Ghanaian regulators and the satellite television provider.
