StarTimes has announced increment on its subscription rates effective from January 10, 2024.
Gatekeepers News reports that the pay-tv operator, in a short post on its X handle on Tuesday, noted that the price increment which cuts across its bouquets, was to sustain the quality of its content for its subscribers.
“To keep giving you great content without reducing quality, we’re reviewing bouquet prices and adding a new bouquet. Starting from January 10, these prices will take effect. We remain committed to giving you the best. Thank you for choosing StarTimes,” the company stated.
According to the company, subscribers of its Nova bouquet, who are currently paying N1,500 per month will start paying N1,700 from January 10. This represents a 13% increase.
Users on the StarTimes Smart bouquet will be paying N3,800, a 6% increase from the N3,500 currently being paid.
The StartTimes Super bouquet, which has sports channel that will show the the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON 2023) has the highest increment of 15% from the current rate of N6,500 to N7,500.
Gatekeepers News reports that StarTimes is the only pay-tv operator with the broadcast right for the continental sporting event in Nigeria. Multichoice announced in December–to the amazement of many of its subscribers—that it would not be able to broadcast the AFCON matches on its DStv and Gotv sports channels.
