Ghanaian DStv customers are set to enjoy more value at no extra cost starting October 1, following new arrangements between the government and MultiChoice Africa.
Minister for Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, announced the details at a press conference in Accra on Monday, September 29.
He explained that the pay-TV provider has introduced what he described as “an unprecedented increased value offer exclusively for Ghana,” giving subscribers between 33% and 50% more value depending on their package.
“This arrangement ensures that Ghanaians enjoy more services without paying additional fees. It is MultiChoice’s direct response to subscriber concerns in Ghana, and the offer is unmatched elsewhere on the continent,” Mr George said.
Under the revised plan, customers will automatically be upgraded to higher packages while paying their current subscription fees:
-
Pady bouquet (GH¢59): Upgraded to Access (GH¢99) with 35 extra channels — a 40% saving.
-
Access (GH¢99): Upgraded to Family (GH¢190) with 19 extra channels — 48% saving.
-
Family (GH¢190): Upgraded to Compact (GH¢380) with 22 more channels, including live football — 50% saving.
-
Compact (GH¢380): Upgraded to Compact Plus (GH¢570) with 12 additional channels — 33% saving.
-
Compact Plus (GH¢570): Upgraded to Premium (GH¢865) with 18 extra channels — 34% saving.
For Premium customers, who already pay GH¢865, the package remains unchanged. However, they will automatically be entered into a promotion to win fully paid trips to watch selected English Premier League matches, subject to terms and conditions.
The Minister emphasized that the upgrade applies to both new and existing customers with no restrictions on bouquet choices.
“This takes effect nationwide on October 1, 2025, and is designed to enhance value while addressing consumer concerns,” he added.
