MultiChoice Ghana has launched a new, simplified DStv package structure starting at just GH¢50 per month, with the Managing Director stating that the affordability of the new pricing will be a crucial weapon in the fight against illegal streaming and pirated decoders.
Speaking after the launch in Accra, the Managing Director and Country CEO of MultiChoice Ghana, Alex Okyere, explained that the company has listened to its customers and is replacing its old, complex package lineup with four straightforward options: Starter, Select, Sports, and Ultimate.
The new DStv Starter package, priced at GH¢50, offers over 90 channels, including Akwaaba Magic, Cartoon Network, SuperSport LaLiga, and the Premier League Match of the Week.
The Select package, at GH¢100, offers 123 channels with additional movie and kids' content.
The Sports package, priced at GH¢250, provides 132 channels, including every Premier League and Champions League match, while the Ultimate package at GH¢570 offers 153 channels with premium sports like Formula 1, MotoGP, and golf.
Mr Okyere emphasised that the new pricing makes illegal alternatives unattractive. "With the prices we have now, I mean, 50, 100, 250, 570, there is no point," he said.
"With these prices, 50 Ghana Cedis, it can't even buy data for a week. So you even spend more money streaming on all those pirating sites than just getting DStv for just 50 Ghana Cedis."
He revealed that MultiChoice is working closely with the Minister of Communications and the Attorney General to clamp down on piracy, both online and on boxes brought in from other countries. "There's no need for you to go and stream or get any boxes from other countries," he added.
The new packages, which take effect from November 5, 2026, are designed to make great content more accessible to all households in Ghana. The migration for existing customers will happen automatically, and no new decoder is required.
The new structure also includes channel enhancements, such as the merger of M-Net Movies 1 and 2 into M-Net Movies+ and the introduction of SuperSport KICKOFF.
