MultiChoice Ghana has invested more than GH¢200 million into the country’s creative industry, strengthening Ghana’s position as one of the growing centers for film and television production in Africa.

The investment supports local productions, film development, and partnerships with Ghanaian creators across television and digital platforms.

The company says the funding is aimed at supporting Ghanaian filmmakers and expanding locally produced content for African audiences.

MultiChoice operates several platforms including DStv and GOtv and has continued to invest heavily in local storytelling across Africa.

The investment comes at a time when competition in the African entertainment industry is intensifying as streaming platforms expand their presence across the continent.

Despite these investments, the broader streaming landscape is changing rapidly. The company’s streaming service Showmax has faced financial pressure and has recently been discontinued due to heavy losses, with the company saying the business had become unsustainable.

Even so, MultiChoice says it remains committed to investing in African content and supporting local industries across the continent.

Ghana’s creative sector continues to attract international media investment, highlighting the country’s growing reputation as a hub for film, television, and digital storytelling.
