MultiChoice Ghana is a joint venture between local businessman Richard Darko and the MultiChoice Group, which was established in 1993. Today MultiChoice Ghana operates from five offices including a state-of-the-art head office and studio in Accra.
The company has a substantial (and growing) impact on both the Ghanaian economy and the lives of its people. A measure of the extent to which Ghana has responded to our investment in the best local and international content is the fact that more than one million of our digital boxes have been sold in Ghana to date. Our channels are available through five DStv and three GOtv packages
MultiChoice Ghana directly employs over 114 people and 148 contract staff, working from five offices in Accra, Kumasi, Tamale, Tema and Takoradi. Hundreds more work for DStv and GOtv as dealers, installers, agents and retailers in all sixteen regions of Ghana.
In 2021, wholly-Ghanaian channel Akwaaba Magic was launched on the DStv platform, rekindling the creative industry in Ghana. This comes on the heels of special Festival Pop-Up channels dedicated to promoting the rich culture and diverse urban art of Ghana to wider African audiences.
Since 2015, MultiChoice Ghana has invested over US$18 million in its DTT network of 13 sites in nine cities across Ghana and spent millions more on building local production capacity and transmission infrastructure. We work closely with partners including the Ministry of Information, the National Media Commission, National Film Authority and the National Film and Television Institute to help foster creative and business environments in which everyone benefits. Just one outcome from the many close stakeholder relationships we enjoy is the fact that today, MultiChoice Ghana hosts no fewer than 15 free-to-air channels on DStv and GOtv – often in areas where access would otherwise not be possible.
