Multichoice Group, a privately owned entity and a subsidiary of Canal+ Group, is headquartered in South Africa. The company, established in 1993, reported $2.8B in revenue as of 2025 and employs approximately 13,410 individuals. Specializing in broadcast media production and distribution, Multichoice Group functions as a video entertainment integrator and pay-television corporation. Following its acquisition by Canal+ Group, the enterprise was delisted from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) and A2X Markets in December 2025, with full operational integration finalized in July 2026. 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.
On September 18, 2026, MultiChoice launched a revamped five-package line-up for DStv, designed to offer customers more choice between sport and entertainment amidst a competitive streaming environment, with some existing customers reportedly receiving a "free" Premium upgrade. Previously, on September 17, MultiChoice unveiled plans to introduce refreshed subscription packages for DStv and GOtv, aiming to provide more choice, value, and control over the viewing experience, with further details expected in the coming weeks. On the same day, DStv and GOtv were set to introduce refreshed packages in Nigeria, which included the addition of three new M-Net Movies channels: M-Net Movies+, M-Net Stars, and M-Net Legends. This followed MultiChoice's announcement on September 15 that DStv subscribers in South Africa would have five new packages to choose from as part of a significant change to the pay-TV service, with new streaming options priced from R99 to R799 a month, including dedicated sports and movies/series packages, effective September 17.
