MultiChoice, which owns DStv and GOtv, has raised subscription rates for both services.
This modification occurred following a court ruling directing the pay television firm to halt the price hike.
The changes are now live on the company’s apps as of Sunday, June 16, 2024. MultiChoice had planned to fight the Competition Consumer Tribunal’s (CCT) judgment due to a reduced subscriber base in Nigeria, where it had lost over a million users.
The new DStv prices have been revised, with Premium package subscribers now paying N29,500 instead of N37,000, Compact+ package subscribers paying N19,800 instead of N25,000, and so on.
Similarly, GOtv subscribers will now pay the previous rates for their packages. N5,700 for GOtv Max, N3,950 for GOtv Joli, and N2,700 for the lowest package, GOtv Jinja, which subscribers will now pay from the new N3,300 rate.
It is yet to be confirmed if MultiChoice will also provide a month of free subscription as directed by the court.
No official statements from the company have been made regarding this matter. The price adjustments were made to reflect the current market conditions in Nigeria, including high inflation and naira devaluation.
