In a bid to make pay-TV more flexible and accessible, MultiChoice Uganda has unveiled new weekly subscription plans under a campaign dubbed ‘Ka Weekie.’ The initiative is aimed at giving customers more affordable and short-term viewing options, especially for those who may not be able to commit to full monthly payments.
With the introduction of ‘Ka Weekie,’ subscribers can now choose from a range of weekly packages across both DStv and GOtv platforms, tailored to meet various budgets and viewing preferences.
For DStv users, the weekly options include:
- Lumba – UGX 5,000
- Access – UGX 14,000
- Family – UGX 22,000
- Compact – UGX 37,000
GOtv users can choose from:
- Lite – UGX 5,000
- Value – UGX 7,000
- Plus – UGX 11,000
- Max – UGX 17,000
- Supa – UGX 22,000
- Supa Plus – UGX 37,000
The new payment structure is designed to appeal to a wide range of users, including those with irregular income, travelers who want short-term access, or viewers who simply prefer a pay-as-you-go model.
MultiChoice Uganda explained that the decision to launch the weekly plans was influenced by customer feedback asking for more flexible and manageable options. The company emphasized that this innovation is about putting power in the hands of subscribers, allowing them to decide when and how they pay for the content they love.
Accessing the weekly packages is easy. Customers can subscribe via the MyDStv and MyGOtv apps, through USSD (*206#), or by using mobile money platforms like Airtel Money and MTN MoMo. Payments can also be made through banks and authorized agents.
Importantly, subscribers are not locked into any one plan. Those who wish to switch back to monthly, quarterly, or even annual packages can do so seamlessly. Any amount already paid for a weekly plan will be credited toward the new subscription, allowing for a smooth transition without financial loss.
With ‘Ka Weekie,’ MultiChoice Uganda is reinforcing its commitment to making premium entertainment more affordable and accessible. The move not only addresses current economic realities for many households but also positions the company as a responsive and customer-first brand in Uganda’s competitive media landscape.
As digital entertainment continues to evolve, this weekly subscription model marks a significant step toward aligning pay-TV services with the changing lifestyles and financial needs of modern consumers.
