MultiChoice reduces DStv subscription prices and restructures packages in both Kenya and Ghana starting November 5, replacing a six-package lineup with four options. Outlets report that the changes are intended to broaden affordability and respond to competitive pressure, including rival pay-TV efforts.

In Kenya, TechCabal and Legit.ng say DStv will shift from six packages to four cheaper tiers with new monthly prices, with TechCabal citing a range from about KES 750 to KES 7,300. TechCabal adds context that the move comes as Canal+ seeks to revive subscriber growth.

In Ghana, multiple outlets report that MultiChoice introduces four new DStv packages priced from GH¢50 to GH¢570, offering different access levels for channels, football coverage, and premium entertainment. Several reports highlight a sports pricing cut led by Communications Minister Sam George, who says subscribers previously paying around GH¢875 will pay GH¢250 for the “Total Sports” package, saving more than GH¢500 monthly. Other Ghana coverage focuses more on the overall package restructuring and the November 5 effective date.
