DStv Implements Major Changes in Subscription Packages

DStv is undergoing a transformation under the management of French media giant Canal+, which took control of MultiChoice in September 2025. The changes include channel closures, new subscription packages, and a streaming overhaul.

DStv introduced revised packages in South Africa on September 17, 2026, where Access became Starter, Family became Select, and Compact subscribers were moved to Sports. A new Movies & Series package was also launched.

Existing subscribers to Compact Plus will retain access, but new subscriptions are closed. Premium and EasyView packages remain unchanged.

DStv assures that customers migrated to replacement packages will not incur higher costs. It is important for Nigerian households to note that changes in South Africa do not automatically translate to new subscription prices in Nigeria.

The restructuring aims to create a leaner business model while addressing the entertainment spending concerns of Nigerian viewers.
