The company manages a pan-African broadcasting footprint that spans over 45 countries across Sub-Saharan Africa, serving a subscriber matrix of approximately 22 million households. Funded primarily through monthly subscription fees, commercial premium advertising, and technological software licensing, it utilizes proprietary satellite networks and scalable digital architectures to maintain a portfolio of entertainment assets, including DStv, GOtv, and SuperSport, while deploying its centralized streaming strategy via DStv Stream.
StudioCanal revealed a first look at *Shaka iLembe* season 3 on October 1, 2026, ahead of its international sales launch for the first two seasons at MIPCOM 2026 in Cannes. Previously, on September 30, Nigeria's House of Representatives called for the suspension of DStv's recent subscription rate hike, citing concerns over affordability and consumer protection for Nigerians facing economic challenges. This followed DStv's significant package restructuring on September 25, its biggest in 15 years, which separates sports from entertainment content for subscribers. Nigerian subscribers now see Premium costing ₦44,500 monthly and Compact priced at ₦19,000. Earlier, on September 24, MultiChoice launched the new Wethu+ channel in South Africa, replacing Mzansi Wethu on DStv channel 163 as part of its subscription package overhaul. The family channel consolidates programming from Mzansi Wethu, Mzansi Bioskop, and Mzansi Magic Music, offering local entertainment, feature films, educational content, and live Premier Soccer League football.
