The Stakeholder Committee set up to review Digital Satellite Television (DSTV) pricing in Ghana has confirmed that the enhanced value packages introduced by MultiChoice Ghana will remain in force, following a series of engagements after the October 1, 2025 implementation.
In a press release issued on Wednesday, the National Communications Authority (NCA) said the committee, chaired by the Minister for Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations, met to assess the impact of the revised DSTV offerings on subscribers across the country.
According to the committee, the value enhancement measures were implemented as announced and have yielded positive results.
“The Committee noted that the enhanced value packages were duly implemented as announced and remain in force,” the statement said, adding that the changes have led to “a significant increase in subscriptions” as customers responded favourably to the adjustments.
The committee, which includes representatives from the Ministry of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations (MoCDTI), the NCA and MultiChoice Ghana, also disclosed ongoing collaboration with other state agencies to tackle illegal pay-TV activities.
“The Committee is collaborating with other agencies, including the Cyber Security Authority, to curb internet streaming piracy of pay TV content,” the NCA stated.
The Authority explained that piracy poses serious economic and security risks, including revenue losses to the state, reduced earnings for the creative industry, and increased exposure of consumers to malware and phishing attacks.
The NCA assured the public that engagements among stakeholders would continue to ensure that agreed objectives are fully achieved.
“The Working Group will continue its engagements to ensure our mutual commitments to the objectives are attained,” the statement added.
