Ghanaian DStv customers are set to benefit from enhanced service packages following what the government has described as a major concession from MultiChoice Africa.
Minister for Communication, Digital Technology, and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, revealed that MultiChoice has agreed to introduce an “unprecedented value boost” exclusively for subscribers in Ghana. This development follows weeks of negotiations and regulatory pressure regarding DStv’s pricing in the country.
According to the Minister, DSTV subscribers will now enjoy significantly more value at no extra cost. “Depending on the bouquet you subscribe to, you’ll receive between 33% and 50% additional value,” he explained.
Under the revised arrangement, customers on the Paddy bouquet will be upgraded to Access, Access subscribers will move up to Family, while Family users will be shifted to Compact. Compact subscribers will advance to Compact Plus, and those on Compact Plus will enjoy Premium content.
Premium subscribers will also be included in the offer through a special raffle that gives them a chance to win an all-expenses-paid trip to Dubai.
This new package will run for three months, after which the stakeholder committee will reassess the structure.
The announcement was made on Monday, September 29, 2025, during a press conference where the Minister presented the findings of the committee set up to review DStv’s pricing and operations in Ghana.
The committee, established by the National Communications Authority (NCA) on September 8, 2025, was tasked with assessing the fairness of subscription fees and addressing public concerns about affordability and service delivery.
The discussions between the government and MultiChoice Ghana had previously been fraught with tension, with the Minister warning of regulatory measures if price adjustments were not made. MultiChoice had resisted, citing operational difficulties.
This new agreement, however, signals a breakthrough, easing hostilities and setting the stage for a more cooperative relationship between the government and the pay-TV provider.
