Colin Asiimwe, Head of Marketing at MultiChoice Uganda, noted that the “Ka Weekie” campaign was developed in direct response to customer feedback.
“You asked, we listened! This is our way of giving subscribers the best in entertainment at affordable rates, allowing them to pay and watch when it suits them,” Asiimwe said.
He pointed out that the new packages are particularly well-suited for daily and weekly earners, frequent travelers, and those who prefer on-demand viewing.
Customers can access the new weekly plans via the MyDStv and MyGOtv mobile apps, by dialing *206#, or using mobile money platforms such as Airtel Money and MTN MoMo.
The packages are also available through selected agents and partner banks nationwide.
Jamugisa further explained that users have the flexibility to switch back to monthly, quarterly, or annual subscriptions at any time by making a full payment or maintaining sufficient account credit. Any active weekly subscription will be deducted from the new plan when transitioning.
