MultiChoice has introduced a new 24-hour sports channel called SportyTV, available on selected DStv and GOtv packages. This channel will provide subscribers with access to a variety of live sports, including football, basketball, and combat sports, as well as news and analysis.

Canal+ has announced that MultiChoice's DStv streaming app will be pre-installed on the home screen of new Samsung TVs sold across Africa. This initiative aims to enhance accessibility to DStv's streaming services for users in the region.

DStv Kenya is set to restructure its subscription packages in November 2026, according to Tech-ish. The Premium bouquet will reportedly drop to KES 7,300, a reduction of up to KES 4,400, while the two Compact tiers will be merged into a single KES 3,000 package. A new lower-priced tier called Select will also be introduced. The changes, if confirmed, would represent a significant shake-up of the pay-TV provider's pricing in the Kenyan market.

Starting June 2026, new Samsung Smart TVs sold in Uganda will feature the DStv Stream app pre-installed, as part of an expanded partnership between Samsung Electronics and Canal+, the parent company of MultiChoice Group. This initiative also applies to 18 other African countries where MultiChoice operates, enhancing access to streaming services for users in the region.

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court in Abuja has ordered MultiChoice Nigeria Limited, the operator of DStv, to pay N3 million in damages and costs for breaching its contractual obligations by disrupting live services. The court found the company liable for shortchanging a consumer, leading to the financial penalty.

Football coverage has returned to DStv and GOtv SuperSport channels shortly after the conclusion of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, according to Kachwanya. The blurb states that the tournament ended with Spain and Argentina contesting the final before millions of viewers, with SuperSport broadcasting every match. The report notes that fans of the pay-TV services can once again follow football action on the SuperSport channels only days after the World Cup final was played.
