The Minister of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, has announced new DSTV subscription packages set to take effect from October 1, 2025.
The move follows a meeting between the government and operators of MultiChoice Ghana aimed at reducing subscription costs and increasing affordability for consumers.
At a press briefing in Accra on Monday, 29 September 2025, Sam George revealed that the new arrangements will give subscribers between 33% and 50% more value, depending on their package.
“MultiChoice Africa has committed to implement an unprecedented increased value offer only in Ghana, which will result in Ghanaian DStv subscribers getting more services for less,” the Minister said.
New package details:
- Padi Subscription (GHC59): Subscribers paying GHC59 will now automatically access the Second Bouquet valued at GHC99, gaining 35 extra channels — a savings of 40%.
- Second Bouquet (GHC99): Subscribers will be upgraded to the Family Bouquet valued at GHC190, with 19 additional channels. This represents a 48% savings.
- Family Package (GHC190): Subscribers will be upgraded to Compact (GHC380), giving them 22 more channels and live football access — a 50% savings.
- Compact (GHC380): Subscribers will be upgraded to Compact Plus (GHC500) with 12 additional channels, saving 33%.
- Compact Plus (GHC570): Subscribers will be upgraded to Premium (GHC865), gaining 18 more channels and saving 34%.
- Premium (GHC865): Subscribers will retain full access to the flagship bouquet but will also qualify for a draw to win fully paid trips to English Premier League matches, subject to terms and conditions.
Sam George stressed that the offer will apply to both existing and new subscribers, with no restrictions on bouquet selection.
He further described MultiChoice’s commitment as “over and above” expectations, noting that the government will continue to push for affordability and fairness in the telecommunications and digital services sector.
