MultiChoice Ghana Denies Agreement on DStv Price Reduction

MultiChoice Ghana has dismissed claims that it has agreed to reduce subscription prices for DStv services, contradicting an earlier announcement by Minister of Communications, Digital Technology, and Innovation, Samuel Nartey George. In a statement issued on Friday, September 5, the pay-TV operator clarified that while discussions with the government are ongoing, no final agreement has been reached regarding tariff reductions. “MultiChoice Group will fully participate in the established Working Committee. However, we wish to clarify that MultiChoice has not agreed to a price reduction,” the company stated. The clarification came shortly after Sam George told reporters that MultiChoice had expressed readiness to comply with a government directive to review tariffs before its suspension notice expires. According to the minister, a multi-stakeholder committee has been formed to determine the extent of reduction. The committee includes representatives from the Ministry, the National […]

Nana Yaa Jantuah Calls Out MultiChoice Ghana Over Subscription Pricing Dispute

Presidential staffer Nana Yaa Jantuah has weighed in on the ongoing standoff between MultiChoice Ghana and the government, urging the pay-TV operator to reconsider its stance in the public interest. Speaking on Prime Insights, the former General Secretary of the Convention People’s Party (CPP) said if MultiChoice feels excessively burdened by regulatory demands, it should simply cease operations. “This is a sovereign nation, and you are coming here to do business because you are earning money. So why are you here? If you’re not making a profit, you should just say, ‘You are stressing us, so we are folding up.’ The fact that you are still here means there is some kind of benefit that endures from your operations. So why don’t you calm down and say, ‘This is your country. I’m here,’” she remarked. Jantuah argued that MultiChoice’s continued […]

NCA to Recover Fines from MultiChoice Ghana Over DStv Pricing Dispute

The Minister of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovation, Samuel Nartey George, has reaffirmed that the National Communications Authority (NCA) is fully empowered to recover fines imposed on MultiChoice Ghana for failing to comply with regulatory directives. At a press briefing, Mr. George disclosed that the pay-TV operator had delayed in submitting a detailed breakdown of its bouquet pricing structure. This delay triggered penalties of GH¢10,000 per day for 24 days, in line with the Electronic Communications Act. “The NCA still has the mandate to collect what is due—10,000 cedis a day, over 24 days—from MultiChoice for failing to provide the requested information within the stipulated time,” the Minister stated. The dispute stems from concerns over the cost of DStv subscriptions in Ghana and a suspension notice earlier issued to the company. On August 4, the NCA requested detailed cost build-up […]

Nana Yaa Jantuah: DStv overpriced with outdated content

Nana Yaa Jantuah, a presidential staffer and former executive secretary of Ghana’s Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC), has strongly echoed calls for MultiChoice Ghana to cut its DStv subscription prices—arguing that the current fees are unjustified and the content increasingly stale and outdated. Speaking on JoyNews’ AM Show on August 5, 2025, she declared: "They should reduce their prices because their content is even horrible." She further added that besides African Magic programming, most foreign shows DStv airs are old, which falls short of expectations given its charges. Jantuah highlighted her own viewing habits: she keeps DStv at home solely for her male household members who enjoy it; otherwise, she'd prefer Netflix. In her view, DStv’s price point is disproportionate compared to the perceived value of its offerings. Her comments come amid mounting political pressure led by the Minister of […]
