Reduce subscription fees by August 7 or lose your licence-Sam George to DSTV

Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovation Sam George has issued August 7th as the final date for Multichoice (DSTV) to reduce subscription fees in line with Ghana cedi depreciation.

In a previous meeting held with a team from DSTV in July, 2025, led by Dr. Keabetswe Modimoeng, Group Executive for Regulatory and Corporate Affairs, the Minister indicated that government’s mandate is to respond to the needs of Ghanaians, who have expressed frustration over high DSTV prices and outdated content offerings.

‎The Minister noted that, despite a 30% improvement in the cedi’s value over the past five months, DSTV prices have not reflected this positive economic shift.

‎He is therefore soliciting for a 30% price reduction to match the cedi’s appreciation and to pass on economic benefits to consumers.

He stressed that, while Multichoice has introduced promotional packages, subscribers prefer a direct price cut over temporary offers.

Taking his turn at government accountability series on Friday, August 1,2025, Mr. George, Multichoice (DSTV) will have their Broadcasting licence suspended if they fail to comply with the date.
