StarTimes Media has slashed the price of its top package by half to Sh749 in the latest round of price wars.
The Pay-TV channels vendor merged its top two packages namely ‘Unique’ (which was 1,499 Kenyan Shillings) and ‘Classic’ (which was 999 Kenyan Shillings) into a single lower cost alternative, leaving only three subscription packages for viewers.
Director of Marketing and PR for StartTimes, Japhet Akhulia said “We have not only dropped the cost of our superior bouquet by 50 percent but also made strategic improvements by adding six more channels key in extending value for money to our Classic bouquet subscribers,”.
The other two packages that will be available to StarTimes subscribers are ‘Basic’ and ‘Nyota’ at 599 Kenyan Shillings and 259 Kenyan Shillings respectively.
The company’s rival pay TV provider MultiChoice, which owns DStv and GOtv, has in recent months, also made changes to its various viewer packages.
