MultiChoice Ghana has announced four new DStv subscription packages for subscribers, providing more affordable options to access television channels, football coverage, and premium entertainment.
The new monthly packages, ranging from GH¢50 to GH¢570, are expected to take effect from November 5, 2026, to ensure value for money for subscribers.
The announcement was made at a joint press conference held on Monday, October 26, by the Ministry of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovation and MultiChoice Ghana, the pay-TV operator.
Speaking on the development, the Country CEO of MultiChoice Ghana, Alex Okyere, indicated that both parties arrived at the decision to make legitimate television services more accessible while discouraging the use of pirated decoders.
He explained that the four packages feature different channel selections and content offerings, with the entry-level option priced at GH¢50 per month and the most expensive package costing GH¢570.
Mr. Okyere added that the new packages offer subscribers a range of choices based on their budgets and viewing preferences, from a basic channel offering to a premium option that combines entertainment and sports.
The packages include:
1. Starter Pack – GH¢50 per month
The Starter Pack is the lowest-priced option, costing GH¢50 monthly. It offers subscribers access to 90 channels.
2. Select Pack – GH¢100 per month
The Select Pack costs GH¢100 per month and provides 123 channels, giving subscribers a wider selection of television content than the Starter Pack.
3. Sports Pack – GH¢250 per month
The Sports Pack is priced at GH¢250 monthly and is targeted at football fans. It offers football coverage alongside the channels available on the Starter and Select packages.
4. Ultimate Pack – GH¢570 per month
The Ultimate Pack costs GH¢570 per month and combines entertainment content with premium sports coverage, making it the highest-priced option among the four packages.
On his part, the Minister for Communications, Digital Technology and Innovation, Sam Nartey George, stressed that the announced prices were fixed rather than promotional offers.
He, however, noted that the planned implementation was subject to the necessary clearance following the Attorney-General’s advice.
On piracy, the minister said the government would continue working with the Cyber Security Authority (CSA), the National Communications Authority (NCA), National Security, Customs, and other relevant agencies to tackle the illegal distribution and use of television services.
He explained that enforcement against piracy must be accompanied by affordable legal alternatives for consumers.
“If you’re going to make it a high-risk enterprise for people to use pirated boxes, then you need to make it a low-entry access for everybody,” he said.
