Could DStv Compact Plus Also Be Discontinued/Merged With DStv Premium??? As MultiChoice Looks Into Rolling Out An Unbundled DStv Package

A few years ago, MultiChoice began to test out a new unbundled package known as DStv Flex which is basically a cheaper DStv Premium package as you browse a selection of premium entertainment channels with sports from SuperSport and films from M-Net Movies curated on as an add-on.

MultiChoice hasn't stated when this package would launch but if we had to guess presumably within the next decade. With the current state of Premium and Compact+, don't be shocked if a restructuring was what awaited all their packages with these two merging into one.

Several channels that were once exclusive to Compact+ such as Comedy Central, E! Entertainment and ESPN 2 have all migrated to lower packages. Few other brands such as History and Nickelodeon could reside within Premium giving it an advantage over Compact.

Compact+ created a rift between Premium and Compact packages snatching several content and making it affordable. MultiChoice was restructuring Compact+ as how M-Net structured VUZU AMP with VUZU which is where Compact resides now both brands have become a thing of the past.

As for the unbundled package, we feel this could lead to the offloading of more channels and who knows Premium could be minimised by then. One thing for certain is the only way this package and premium can live harmoniously would be minimising their rates.
