StarTimes Nigeria have announced planned reduction in subscription fee for its classic bouquet from N2,600 to N1,900 come September 1, with the inclusion of Ebony Life TV, ST Nollywood Plus and Fox and ST Kids to the bouquet.
The pay-TV company also declared a one month free access for all its subscribers starting from August 1 to 31 on all decoders, irrespective of subscription status to ensure customers have access to its new channels, available on the classic bouquet.
This is coming after DSTV increased their subscription fee to something subscribers are not happy about… and yet another disappoint on Sunday when DSTV and other cable TV left Nigerians hanging with nowhere to watch Manchester City Vs Chelsea… it was a moment of torture.
But yesterday 6th of August, StarTimes took to their handle and sympathized with Nigerians over the price hike by DStv and stated that it will reduce its highest bouquet price from N2,600 to N1,900, while adding Ebony Life TV, ST Nollywood Plus & Fox to the list of channels.
1. We are aware of the recent price hike in subscription by D other pay TV network and sincerely think that Nigerians deserve better.#PayLessForMore

2. This price increment is highly insensitive to the current economic hardship most Nigerians who also happen to be pay-TV subscribers are faced with.#PayLessForMore

Tnx u StarTimes but dy need to add Live Epl matches to their various bouquets
Good development….. If only Star times had right to EPL, then dstv won’t be doing the rubbish they are trying with Nigerians.
Good one from Startimes, wish they could be airing EPL
It is nice but quite unfortunate that startimes is not as attractive as DSTV.
Love these guys alot
EPL or no EPL
what a very good move by ST. they’ll definitely win a few hundredore Nigerians over with this move.
Trash… this was strategic! They knew they would lose customers after they lost the right to show Italian Seria A to DSTv. I won’t be using their decoder until further notice. I support an Italian team and I just want to watch Seria A!
Healthy competition. They can as well improve on their broadcast quality
Good idea startimes. Very nice.
Ur customers will be more than happy
nice move but I ain’t interested in Nigeria movie.
Nice one
Nice 1. Wish they have my favorite channels. Most of their channels are India
Startimes could have been a hit dis new season…
They should have held on to the seria A tv rights…
They could have benefited alot from the Ronaldo move to Seria A.
They now crashed dre price bcuz they v nothing to offer..
Just do all you have to do to make themselves relevant in Nigerian market
Tstv. Una fada. If you had kept your promise, all these nonsense by dstv won’t be happening
