Multichoice Nigeria raises DStv and GOtv prices again
The new prices will take effect on November 6, 2023, just five months after the company’s last price increase.
In a statement to subscribers, Multichoice said the latest price increase was due to “rising costs in all aspects of our business, including content acquisition, infrastructure maintenance, and operating expenses.”
The company also attributed the increase to “the current economic challenges in Nigeria,” which include high inflation and a weak naira.
The new prices for DStv packages are as follows:
Premium: N29,500 (+20%)
Compact+: N19,800 (+19%)
Compact: N12,500 (+19%)
Confam: N7,400 (+19%)
Yanga: N4,200 (+20%)
The new prices for GOtv packages are as follows:
Supa Plus: N12,500 (+19%)
Supa: N7,600 (+19%)
Max: N5,700 (+19%)
Jolli: N3,950 (+19%)
Jinja: N2,700 (+20%)
It remains to be seen how the price increases will impact Multichoice’s subscriber base. The company has not released any recent data on subscriber numbers, but it is likely that some subscribers may switch to cheaper pay-TV providers or cancel their subscriptions altogether.
