What is your business knowing how much DSTV makes in Aa month.

strawgirl: Hmmmm. And some peeps even watch dstv for free. That's also a loss on their side.

one billion likes

There is no month Dstv don't put there E16 even after payment. Don't care what they make but let them improve their sevice.
At this moment if there is another cable service which is better than Dstv I will rather take it than be paying for no service.

This is one sector that we need more competition or providers.

@OP, you must also understand that DSTV has close competitors, StarTimes being one of the greatest. The net effect is that though the subscriber base may actually be in the millions, the active and paying subscribers may actually be in the range of a few thousand.

Liken it to this: MTN has got the largest subscriber base in the country presently. However, many folks hardly recharge their MTN lines due to their extremely harsh tariffs. Instead, using a dual SIM phone, the MTN is used to only answer calls.

Got the gist?

Dstv may not be making money as such cos they have many expenses to run as well.

I may not be able say its exact
monthly gross earnings, but it's more than 5 billion naira.

a company that oprate legally,but bribes the BON and other agencies to hige huge amount of the tax money.

No, DSTV does not necessarily make that much. I once spoke with a guy who works there and he said despite Nigeria's advantageously huge population, very few people could afford DSTV at current subsription fees. I then suggested that the subscription fees be decreased by DSTV, so that the services would become more affordable to more Nigerians. Who knows if he has tabled this very simple suggestion before his bosses at the office.

[b]My take is that discretionary spend is still very depressed in Nigeria, and unemployment levels are quite high. Of those who are 'lucky' to be employed, 70% of them earn below N100,000 per month while more than 75% of Nigerians live below the poverty line and income inequality is breaking the 45%-50% band..Given that more than 80% of the population earn meagre income, how then do you expect them to afford a luxury entertainment service offered by DSTV? Almost impossible if you ask me.

Until disposable income levels rise, perhaps via increased jobs and drop in mandatory household expenses etc, discretionary spend would remain low...And companies like DSTV can boast of a brighter future only if there are strong expectations that income levels and discretionary spend will better what they currently are. Given current happenings, I fear that DSTV may one day close shop, just as its fellow Lekki-based South African company recently did or plans to do. I do not want to state the name os the company as I'm unsure if it is now public knowledge that they're closing shop.[/b]

Let's watch and see how things go..

My friend I think u are speaking too many economics grammar.. Nigeria is an abnormal society and as such, all these indices you mentioned does not really apply. If you doubt me, go and ask MTN, ECONET and the other telecom companies and they would educate you better...

MEILYN: watin concern me? I dey work 4 their company? Mtcheeeeww, anyway, DSTV make huge profits, they also do adverts remember? They dont depend on the subscription only, they have other ways to make good money. Big Brother Africa alone got them about 1billion dollars i think. So why do you think these folks dont make it big? They make billions jare.

1bllion dollars? hehe, bros no vex, bt dis wan hard to blieve

With the epileptic power supply we have in this country,they will have to spend a lot in power generation since their services is operational in the 36 states of the federation

kobonaire: wow, so you mean, big brother is as lucrative as EPL, La Liga? I don't think so my friend. No body is going to spend $1B for that crap show.

do your research Mr Man, they make huge profit from big brother, not upto 1billion dollars but close to it.

Sho!

When you earn real income, the cost of subscription won't be a burden. We pay every month, but we don't have the time luxury to sit down and watch.

I don't really know what they actually make. But one thing we should have in mind is that not everybody is paying for premium.
