DStv is set to implement its most significant restructuring in 15 years on 17 September, according to TechCentral. The changes will see M-Net and KykNet made available beyond the Premium package, while a cricket-focused offering will be priced at R399. The Compact Plus bouquet is being discontinued entirely. The shake-up marks a major overhaul of the South African pay-TV operator's package structure, aimed at reshaping how subscribers access premium content across its channel lineup.

MultiChoice has overhauled its DStv packages, introducing standalone sport and movies subscriptions alongside expanded access to premium channels and live football. According to TimesLIVE, the changes are part of the pay-TV operator's efforts to adapt to intensifying competition from streaming services. The revamp gives subscribers more flexibility in selecting content, allowing customers to pay for sport or movie offerings separately rather than relying solely on bundled packages.

MultiChoice has reduced the price of its DStv Premium package to R799 per month, an all-in price the company says matches what the package cost about 10 years ago. However, according to Moneyweb, the reduced price comes with a catch, though the specific conditions attached to the offer were not detailed in the available information. The move represents a significant price cut for the South African pay-TV operator's flagship bouquet, which has faced sustained subscriber pressure in recent years.

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.

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.
