MultiChoice, the parent company of DStv, is undergoing significant changes after being acquired by France's Groupe Canal+. The company is shifting its focus towards a volume-driven, price-stable model, similar to those used in francophone Africa.
MultiChoice, the DStv parent company, has been reorganizing its business after being acquired by Groupe Canal+. The company serves over 40 million subscribers across 70 countries. Its linear satellite product is in decline, with 2.8 million subscribers lost in two years. A price freeze has been announced to stem the loss. The company is shifting towards a streaming service integrated with Canal+'s global infrastructure. SuperSport remains a key part of the business, with pricing power due to its sports rights. However, the cost of sports rights is increasing, and the trend of streamers moving into live sports may impact the business model.
