MultiChoice readjusts subscription prices

In a related development, YEN.com.gh reported that MultiChoice has revised its subscription prices for DSTV, GOTv and other channels following a court ruling.

Although the company said it would challenge the court order, arguing that it does not favour its business model, a check on the company's apps shows that the firm had reverted to the old prices pending the outcome of its appeal.
