Kenya’s broadcasting sector recorded a strong rebound in Q1 FY 2025/26, according to the latest CA report, with total broadcasting subscriptions rising 13.7% to reach 1.678 million users. The growth was largely driven by Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) and Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite services, while cable TV suffered a steep decline. DTT subscriptions jumped 17.1%, rising from 806,850 to 944,913. GOtv led the charge with an impressive 41.2% quarterly surge, bringing its subscriber base to 444,007. StarTimes DTT, meanwhile, posted modest but consistent growth of 1.7%. This trend reflects continued demand for affordable terrestrial packages, especially in urban and peri-urban regions where DTT infrastructure remains widely available.

For many households in Ghana, paying for DStv or GOtv is one of the most frequent monthly routines. Yet, long queues at branches, last-minute service interruptions, and the stress of manual payments have made many subscribers prefer digital options — and MTN Mobile Money remains the most convenient of them all. With millions of active MoMo users across the country, renewing your subscription is now as easy as dialing a short code.

DStv has extended its "Upsize Promotion," which gives Compact Plus, Compact, Family and Access decoder subscribers free upgrades to higher packages.

A Growing Storm For Africa’s Biggest Pay-TV Giant DStv subscribers may be heading into a worrying 2026 as MultiChoice warns that eleven of its most recognisable channels, from CNN International to Cartoon Network and Discovery Channel, could disappear on December 31. The company confirmed that negotiations with Warner Bros Discovery, the global media powerhouse that owns these channels, have stalled. Unless both sides strike a new distribution agreement before the current deal expires on the last second of 2025, viewers will wake up on January 1 without some of their most watched news, kids, lifestyle and entertainment brands.
