Multichoice, owner of of DStv and GOtv has denied reducing its subscription fees in Nigeria.
According to BusinessDay, the company only reduced decoder prices but subscription prices remained unchanged.
“We only reduced our decoder prices and not subscription prices.
“DStv Zapper was slashed from N65,000 to N22,900 while the Zapper and the dishkit were slashed from N100,000 to N57,900.
“For GOtv, the Pizza Box was slashed from N56,000 to N19,900 and all of these took effect from the 1st of June 2024”, the source said.
Recall that MultiChoice Nigeria is currently in the middle of a legal case as it is challenging a ruling by the Competition and Consumer Protection Tribunal, CCPT that mandated it to offer one-month free subscription services and imposed a N150 million fine.
The development comes as the company announced that its subscribers in Nigeria dropped by 18 percent in the first quarter of 2024.
Since March 2022, the company has hiked its subscription fee four times.
The latest was in April 2024 when it hiked subscription fees by 17 percent.
