    Tariff Review: What option does MultiChoice have?

    • By Poju Ibileke

    Until late Wednesday afternoon when I got a text message announcing new prices on MultiChoice’s DStv and GOtv packages from the service provider, I did not know that StarTimes, another Pay television company, increased its tariff in September. I got to know when a friend, who is a customer to both providers, called to lament how bad things have become in the country. My friend is a man given to few-holds-barred griping discussions on cost of living.

    “This is the second time these people (MultiChoice) are increasing prices this year. Did they have a meeting with StarTimes, which increased in September. Do they want to kill us?” he asked angrily, generously sprinkling the rest of the conversation with vitriol for the providers and government.

    I did not reply until he had exhausted his supply of bile. I asked him if there is a commodity or service with the same price as at six or seven months ago. “Even if there is none,” he batted back. I asked how he expects the pay television companies to afford the current costs of other goods and services in addition to the ones crucial to their operations if they do not increase prices. “You sound like you have money,” he taunted. I told him he knows I do not. He was still seething. The conversation ended because we had to move on to other things. While alone, I thought my friend was right to be bitter. I was also chagrined after thinking about what I will start paying as DStv subscription from 6 November, the date the new tariffs take effect.

    I thought about how the price of cooking gas moved from N8,500 in my neighbourhood last month to N11,550 last week. After a while, my mind swivelled to inflation figures from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), stuff I never like to read because they have been depressing for some time. Inflation for July 2023, according to the NBS, came in at 24.08%, 25.8% in August and 26.72% in September. Those figures sure have implications for consumers and businesses. This year, inflation rose for nine months on the bounce and it is expected that prices will keep outrunning incomes till the end of the year. There is the optimistic projection that there will be a dip in inflation next year. I do not believe that, I have to say.

    The main drivers of inflationary pressures, according to experts, are expansionary monetary and fiscal policy, naira depreciation and petrol subsidy removal, which have all resulted in the hike in food/commodity prices. I reached a conclusion that when prices spin out of control, they affect just about every area of a business, forcing changes in the pricing of product/service among other strategic steps. Changes in pricing, expectedly, is never well received by the consumer.

    I am a consumer and I am often seized by the unrealistic belief that certain businesses are bullet-proof. Seriously, there is none and certainly cannot be a business that is heavily reliant on the health of the Naira in relation to the Dollar. It is safe to assume that pay television service providers must be gasping at this moment because of the cost of content (they are mostly vendors of other people’s content), costs of satellite and other utilities, energy (diesel, petrol, etc.) and technological upgrades among other things.

    With soaring operating expenses, particularly driven by a limp Naira and jump in energy costs, it is unlikely that a business like MultiChoice is aiming for some grand profit margin. There is no chance of that, as the kite-high cost of living in the country is forcing customers to curtail their planned spending. This implies loss of business opportunities.

    Customers yoked with food inflation, which climbed to 30.64% in September from 29.34% in August, and much higher transportation costs, say, will spend less on non-essentials. The NBS reported that the headline inflation rate for May was 22.41% and 22.79 % for June. The same inflation rate was 15.68% in 2016 and 9.01% in 2015. Though cost-of-living and inflation crises are typically global, the impact is more on the African continent. Inflation in Ghana, for example, reached 42.50% in July, the highest level in two decades. Ghana has had over 100% increase in food prices and transportation costs. The energy costs have risen dramatically. Inflation is running at 44.81% for Sierra Leone as of June 2023, the highest in recent times, driven by food and fuel inflation and the depreciation of the Leone. Inflation has risen to 36 years high in Congo and many African countries are under growing pressure of high inflation and an unbearable cost of living

    Businesses in these countries, whatever type they are, cannot freeze prices. To do so is to die, throwing staff into the unemployment market and denying the government of tax revenue. It is the same with businesses in Nigeria. There is no option than to review prices upward for the same quality of goods or service. None. Painful as it is.

    MultiChoice opens up studios to fans

    In furtherance of the activities marking its 20th-anniversary celebrations, Africa Magic has taken select members of its audience on a tour of its production studios in Lagos.

     “Our two decades of indigenous storytelling wouldn’t have been possible without our audience. They are key to the story we tell and this celebration will not be complete without the audience being part of it. These studios have produced over 30,000 hours of content enjoyed by the audience in the last two decades. So we decided to give a sample of the audience the opportunity to have a feel of studios and also meet some of the brains behind the magic we see on the screen.”

  • NCC, Multichoice train manpower on broadcast piracy

    The Nigerian Copyright Commission (NCC) has emphasised the importance of protecting creativity, restating its commitment to providing adequate capacity building for its workers.

    The commission made stated this at a national broadcast anti-piracy workshop themed: “Broadcast piracy and strategic management” for its workers, organised in collaboration with Multichoice Nigeria Limited in Abuja.

    The workshop was attended by NCC management staff, state coordinators as well as enforcement and prosecution officers drawn from across the country.

    Other participants included Anti-piracy Manager, Multichoice, Mr. Umar Abdullaziz; and Ms. Tanya Hill of the United States Department of Justice.

    According to NCC Director-General, Mr. John Ohi Asein, the workshop was meant to equip copyright officers with relevant knowledge on broadcast piracy. He added that the “commission was determined to provide the staff with necessary technical knowledge and facilities to enhance copyright protection in the country”.

    “The protection of creativity is essential to avoid a situation where the country’s creative potentials would be mismanaged by the activities of pirates. The inability to protect the country’s creative works could create a negative impact on Nigeria’s creative industry, which at the moment is rated among the top three in the world,” he said.

    The Head of Regulatory, Multichoice Nigeria Limited, Mr Gozie Onumonu, said the broadcast sector was critical to the development of a vibrant film industry, which necessitated frequent dialogue on finding ways of protecting broadcast content.

    Onumonu said stemming piracy was difficult, but that with more efforts the menace would be curbed. He said that the workshop would provide a platform for exploring ways of tackling the problem.

    Mr. A. Frikkie Jonker of IRDETO, digital security firm, who spoke on “Internet streaming: Piracy as it affects broadcasting industry worldwide”, said the importance of protecting creativity in the digital sphere had been challenged by pirates.

    The digital security expert decried the poor institutional response to issues of broadcast piracy, which has impacted negatively on the country’s economy, noting that the problem was a global one.

    While calling for collaboration among relevant stakeholders towards ensuring that the menace was eradicated, Jonker proffered a ‘teach-them-young’ approach to curbing piracy by inculcating the ideals of respect for copyright in youths.

    Speaking on “Internet streaming and counter Measures-paradigms across the world”, Senior Manager, Cyber Security, Mr B. Barrie Coll, examined the internet security measures put in place by IRDETO, in collaboration with Multichoice, observed that such instruments could be employed by organisations to check the menace of broadcast piracy in the country.

    NCC management staff and state coordinators in attendance included Head, Nigerian Copyright Institute (NCI),  Mrs Funmi Adewale; Director Administration, Dr Idowu Ogunkuade; Mrs Adewale, Director, PRS, Mr Mike Akpan; Director, Legal Services, Abdul Ter Kohol esq.; Director, Finance, Mr Mark Obasi and Accounts; Director, Prosecution, Mr Obi Ezeilo; Director, Public Affairs, Vincent Oyefeso; Enforcement, Akwa Ibom State, Idorenyin  Akpakpan; NCC Rivers State Office Coordinator, Mrs Nkechi Ezinma; Enforcement, Kano State Office, Oke Mosunmola and Prosecution, NCC headquarters, Joy Ogbonna.

    MTF Director Cheryl Uys-Alli added that MultiChoice’s commitment to partnering industry experts, such as the NYFA, is to promote and protect the growth of Africa’s creative industries. She noted that the endorsement of the MTF by NYFA confirms the film school’s continued efforts to the empowerment and development of filmmakers across the world.

  • Foundation lauds MultiChoice’s fight against sickle cell

    The Chairman and founder, Sickle Cell Foundation, Nigeria, (SCFN), Prof. Olu Akinyanju, has commended MultiChoice, a leading pay-television provider in Nigeria, for using its broadcast platform and resources to create awareness about the sickle cell disorder. Speaking at the closing/certificate award ceremony of the 18th Genetic Counselling Training course on Sickle Cell Disorder at the National Sickle Cell Centre in Lagos, Prof. Akinyanju said MultiChoice’s determination to enrich lives has also impacted positively on the fight against the sickle cell disorder for over a decade.

    The two-week counselling course was aimed at raising awareness about and deepening understanding of the Sickle Cell Disorder (SCD) as well as pointing out ways SCD victims could lead normal lives. Akinyanju, while appealing to participants to use the knowledge they received from the course to support and manage the sickle cell disorder professionally, also appealed to corporate bodies to emulate the kind gesture of MultiChoice in supporting the fight against the disorder.

    In his remarks, John Ugbe, Chief Executive Officer, MultiChoice Nigeria, who was represented by Caroline Oghuma, Executive Head; Corporate Affairs, MultiChoice Nigeria said MultiChoice Nigeria is an organization that promotes values and views its support for training courses as well as other contributions to the fight against SCD as part of its propagation of strong family values.

    “As an organization that promotes family values we cannot but contribute to the fight against Sickle Cell Disorder in Nigeria. MultiChoice Nigeria equally assisted the SCFN to generate funds for its activities through the placement of donation boxes in all its branches across the country, with collated funds sent to the SCFN account.”
