Why are u people like this? It cost a lot to get broadcast right of these top leagues. Even broadcast right of African champions league is way expensive not to talk of epl. If they get the right for epl, their sub will be expensive just like dstv. So what is now the need ? Dstv is expensive becus they paid heavily for broadcast rights.

No business wants to lose money. So as they paid heavily for broadcast rights, they will also charge their customers heavily.

If tstv go the dstv way, it will become as expensive as dstv.

Excuse me, bro. I just need to ask. I travelled to the Southeast and I noticed some viewing centres showing EPL matches in an Arabic and French station, I couldn't get the name of the decoder but I just want to know if you've heard about those channels and if yes, how can one get it in Lagos? What does free-to-air mean?

helinues:
Wow

All EPL live matches or selected ones?

heykims:
Championship, are TSTV crew okay?

It is not dstv fault. Epl is too expensive and anyone who will rival dstv will also be expensive becus they must make their money back.

frankmoney:
This TStv you only hear about them online . Where are they selling decoder , how much is the subscription , where are their offices located ?

Sheggy13:

They're not serious. It's not like they got this EFL rights for free, they must have parted with something tangible for it. If so, why don't they spend such money to acquire rights of other in-demand leagues like Spanish La liga, Italian Serie A or even German Bundesliga cos we all agree EPL rights are the most expensive and would be difficult to get. How many Nigerians are interested in EFL that you expect them to use their hard-earned money to subscribe to TsTV monthly just to watch EFL. TsTV isn't ready yet.

If you want to show all the 380 Premiership live matches, as a foreign company, you must have at least £4bn + per season

They need enough adverts before considering EPL rights

brosom:
This is very much welcomed, at least Dstv can have a competitor which will make them to re strategize the way the handle her customers

South Africans pay about 9200 naira for what we pay about 13k for, and their content is even better than ours, why shy ours be higher?

kikero:


No, Premier League is very expensive, even for average billionaires. It's even expensive for the BBC self,and BBC has budgets in the tens of billions of pounds

A little bit about DStv. In addition to the finances they get from subscription rates, they are backed by an investment company called Naspers,whose assets are in the hundreds of billions of dollars.

Far more than any Naija billionaire can afford( unless your name is Dangote)

There is stable electricity in SA and we dont have that in Nigeria. Companies pay a lot to generate and maintain electricity in Nigeria. If some companies tell u how much they spend, u go pity them.

Companies supply their own water, transportation is crazy and they import most of the resources they need to run their business here..

Dollar is not as high in rand as it is in naira. It cost more to get dollars from Nigeria than in SA due to our economy.

The list goes on.

Rgade:

You dey mind Nigerians.
I don't know the kind of binary reasoning Nigerians are cursed with.
Always comparing sheer numbers alone while leaving out the dynamics of economics, whenever they begin their usual comparison with other countries.
SA has a far better infrastructure than Nigeria,power, water, security, network etc like you pointed out.
It's common sense that foreign companies would have to spend far more money in Nigeria in order to bring their standard of operation at par with what is obtained in their home country.
They will also ignore that SA has a far better per capita GDP($) than Nigeria. So what we see as expensive might actually be cheap for them.
Also there's the devalued currency and double digit inflation rates.
But a Nigerian will ignore the fact that his Economy is screwed and be expecting the same standard of service obtained in first world countries at subsidized rates.
FG should come and subsidize DSTV for them too,so they'll stop crying.
