DStv Premium subscriber loss continues

[Bernie]

Factor in that a lot of people are now sharing DSTV Now accounts, there is no point to having premium. What would be interesting is to compare the decline against the increase in viewership via DSTV Now. We may find that actual viewership figures have maybe remained constant, but not the actual number of premium account holders.

That market is way smaller than SA.

But remember that much of SA is also rural and doesn't have the broadband internet that threatens their world..

With 5G that will quickly change. The real issue is that the areas that can afford it are quickly expanding in broadband and the rural ones can't afford premium.

Multichoice is too expensive! They are trying to milk us but the are milking in the wrong barn! They kept on increasing their tariffs without reading the signs!

makes sense to me, showmax is R99 something (free on premium) and dstv now is attached to any dstv package, so it sounds like people are downgrading/cancelling their premium to a smaller package and signing up with showmax.

Multichoice should lobby for the government to put a stop to tough economic conditions so that they may keep their monopoly. Tough economic times should be regulated too.
