What “Increased Value” Means

• Subscribers won’t necessarily pay less—some may see the same fees but with enhanced service offerings, more channels, or bonus content.
• Others may receive direct reductions in subscription fees depending on their package and negotiations between MultiChoice and regulators.
• This value uplift is intended to reflect the strengthened Ghanaian cedi and changing cost dynamics in import, licensing, and service provision.

Why the Government Intervened

• Samoa George and the Ministry argue that given the cedi’s performance, DSTV pricing should be adjusted to relieve consumer burden.
• After public outcry about high subscription costs, the government held talks with MultiChoice Ghana and the NCA (National Communications Authority) to find solutions.

What’s Next for Subscribers

• A stakeholder committee is expected to finalize the new “value structure” for DSTV packages.
• Adjustments may roll out over a phased timeline, depending on the package and region.
• Subscribers should look out for announcements from MultiChoice Ghana and official communication on which channels or packages will change.
