NCA Moves to Suspend Multichoice Ghana’s Pay TV Authorisation Over Pricing Concerns

The National Communications Authority (NCA) has officially notified Multichoice Ghana Limited of its intention to suspend the company’s Subscription Management Service Authorisation for its Satellite Television Broadcasting (Pay TV Direct-to-Home Bouquet).

Sam George Rejects DStv’s Proposal, Demands Price Reduction for Ghanaians

Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, Hon. Samuel Nartey George, has strongly criticized MultiChoice Ghana, operators of DStv, for what he describes as blatant disregard for the plight of Ghanaian consumers amid recent price hikes for their satellite television services. In a statement released on Monday, Sam George declared that DStv Ghana’s response to public uproar over its recent 15% price increase only confirms his long-standing concerns — that the company does not take the Ghanaian people seriously. Drawing a comparison with Nigeria, the lawmaker noted that MultiChoice Nigeria was compelled to reverse similar price increases after legal action by Nigerian authorities and intervention by the House of Representatives. “They complied in Nigeria, but have chosen to ignore Ghanai...
