Multichoice hikes DStv, GOtv subscription rates amid rising operational costs

The new rates would take effect from May 1, Multichoice said in an email to customers seen by TheCable.

The pay-TV firm cited the rise in the cost of business operations as the rationale behind the price increase.Nigeria’s inflation rate rose to 33.20 percent in March 2024 — drying up the disposable income of citizens and putting pressure on the operations of companies. “We understand the impact this change may have on our valued customers and partners, but the rise in the cost of business operations, has led us to make this difficult decision,” the email reads.From May 1, the pay-TV firm said customers on the DStv premium bouquet will begin to pay N37,000 from N29,500, and those on Compact+ would pay N25,000 from N19,800.To subscribe to Confam, Yanga, and Padi packages, customers will pay N9,300, N5,100, and N3,600 from N7,400, N4,200, and N2,950 respectively.

Similarly, subscribers on GOtv Supa package are expected to pay N9,600 from N7,600; while customers on the GOtv Max bouquet will pay N7,200 instead of N5,700.Multichoice also said the price of the GOtv Jinja package would rise from N2,700 to N3,300; adding that subscribers of the GOtv Smallie would be required to pay N1,575 instead of N1,300.
