DStv has removed 12 channels from its platform, affecting various genres, including sports, news, religious, and kids programming.

These channels were no longer available to subscribers at the time of reporting, and it is unclear if they will be restored.

The channels were removed at different times from January to August, and the most recent is PSB Kids on channel 313.

DSTV message to subscribers trying to access 313 reads: “This channel is closed. Press I or check the 8-day TV Guide to find out when it will open.”

Despite the removal, DSTV subscribers still have various channels available for similar content to enjoy.

Below is the full list of the removed channels:

Channel 446 – Deutsche Welle

Recall that DSTV made a price hike in May 2024, highlighting the reason for the decision.

A statement titled ‘Price Adjustment on DStv and GOtv Packages’, signed by its Chief Executive Officer, John Ugbe said the increase was necessitated by the rise in the cost of business operations.
