UPDATE: MultiChoice Kenya’s subscribers dropped 84% to 188,824 by June 2025, from 1.2 million a year earlier

According to the latest data from the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA), The fall was driven by 5 price hikes in 3 years and a shift to illegal streaming amid tough times.

Meanwhile, French media giant Canal+ has cemented its position as a global entertainment powerhouse after finalising its takeover of MultiChoice Group, the parent company of DStv, Showmax and SuperSport.

The $2 billion deal, which closed last week, hands Canal+ effective control of the pay-TV giant, marking one of the most significant shake-ups in Africa’s broadcasting sector.

People are now very hopeful Canal+ will bring new rates and better packages.
