Tariff Hike: MultiChoice Unveils Relief Measures for DStv, GOtv Subscribers

Leading pay television service provider, MultiChoice Nigeria, plans to offer a support package for DStv and GOtv subscribers.
In a message to subscribers on Monday, the company stated that starting from March 1, 2025, the new tariffs would apply to DStv and GOtv packages.
According to the company, DStv and GOtv subscribers who renew their subscriptions before the expiration date will be exempt from the new rates for a specified time as a reward for their loyalty.
Additionally, subscribers on both platforms can take advantage of extra benefits through the Step Up offer, which began in January and will continue until March 31.
The Step Up offer expands access to premium content by enabling both active and disconnected DStv and GOtv subscribers to enjoy content beyond their current package through an automatic upgrade to a higher package on payment for a package above their current subscription.
As part of the palliative package, MultiChoice will announce a reduction in the subscription for Showmax, its streaming service, on February 28. This aims to provide customers with more affordable access to live sports, movies, and general entertainment.
The latest price review puts the cost of the DStv Compact bouquet N19,000 and the Compact Plus at N30,000. DStv Premium subscription will rise to N44,500.
Similarly, GOtv Supa customers will henceforth pay N16,800, while those on Supa will pay N11,400. The tariff on GOtv Max moves to N8,500, while that of GOtv Jinja moves to N3,900.

FCCPC Summons Multichoice Over Plans to Hike Subscription Prices

By Adedapo Adesanya
The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has summoned MultiChoice Nigeria over its move to hike subscription rates for DStv and GoTV services.
The call came as the broadcaster hiked its DStv premium bouquet to N44,500 from the N37,000 price, subscribers on the Compact+ would start paying N30,000 as against the current fee of N25,000 among others.
According to MultiChoice, the new rates take effect from March 1, 2025.
Now, the consumer rights agency has stepped in and summoned MultiChoice Nigeria and its chief executive to a hearing at the agency’s headquarters on Thursday, February 27.
According to a statement signed by FCCPC’s Director of Corporate Affairs, Mr Ondaje Ijagwu, it is deeply concerned over the pay-TV company’s proposal amid accusations that MultiChoice applies different pricing strategies in other markets.
“The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has summoned MultiChoice Nigeria to explain its proposed subscription price increase, set to take effect on March 1, 2025,” a part of the statement on Tuesday evening disclosed.
“Exercising its mandate under Sections 32 and 33 of the FCCPA, the FCCPC directed the Chief Executive Officer of MultiChoice Nigeria to attend an investigative hearing at the Commission’s headquarters on Thursday, February 27, 2025.
“This action follows MultiChoice’s formal notification of the price adjustment, which raises concerns about recurrent unilateral price hikes, potential market dominance abuse, and perceived anti-competitive practices in the pay-TV industry,” it added.
The FCCPC also promised to “impose regulatory penalties, sanctions, or other corrective measures” on MultiChoice should it “fail to provide satisfactory explanations or be found in violation of fair market principles.”
The agency said this is to “protect Nigerian consumers” and that is it already “engaging the sector regulator and other relevant agencies to ensure fair competition and consumer protection within Nigeria’s broadcasting and digital subscription landscape”.
Multichoice decision to hike its prices comes amid inflationary challenges in core markets.
In Nigeria, a sharp decline in the Naira led to a 32 per cent decline in its Dollar revenue in 2024.
This is as it faced a broader 9 per cent decline in total active subscribers across Africa with subscriber numbers dropping by 13 per cent in Nigeria, Angola, Kenya, and Zambia.
