Multichoice – DSTV – has announced an increase in the annual subscription fee for DSTV with effect from April 1, 2015. The company cited inflation, satellite lease cost, programming costs and efficiencies effected within the company as reasons why DSTV packages will come at a higher cost.
The increased DSTV subscription fees come at a time when three media houses KTN, NTV and CITIZEN have switched themselves off in protest over digital migration. The Government has ruled out any possibility of reopening analogue television broadcasting for 100 days as suggested by three media houses. Multichoice released their new DSTV subscription fee for the different DSTV bouquets as follows:
Bouquet                           New price
DSTV Premium              KES 8 200,00
DSTV Compact Plus      KES 5 550,00
