€100 Million committed in strategy to revive DStv

Groupe Canal+ is preparing a secondary inward listing on the JSE while trying to turn around DStv, as the South African pay-TV giant is now key to its African growth plans after Showmax failed.

The listing fulfilled a commitment Canal+ made during the MultiChoice acquisition, and the French media group’s shares are set to begin trading on the JSE’s main board on Wednesday, 3 June 2026.

Nee vok, all this exposure makes me want to break in to the neighbors house and destroy their DSTV decoder. Left and right of my house.

Will they have the balls now to publish premium subscriber numbers?

Still Refusing, and listening to what the people actually want.

I would like DStv again. But if it was affordable and worth paying.....

Economy of scale. More people more money?

 

[RedViking]

Not for South Africans though. The investment is for the broader Africa.

Dstv has for years been the Woolies of tv in SA. And they refuse to change.

Higher prices for rights the more subscribers you have.

Why not shut down DSTV and give us Canal Plus with English and Portuguese options? Just a thought.

After what happened at two Woolies' this week I'm happy we don't have DStv!

They can't. They need the money to pay for the sports monopoly.
