“You Asked, We Listened! and we believe this is a step in the right direction in offering subscribers the best-in-entertainment at affordable price points, allowing them to pay and watch at their own convenience,” Asiimwe revealed, adding that, “Ka Weekie is also a reflection of a business attuned to its customer feedback.”

“We are congnizant that a number of our subscribers earn daily or weekly, those who travel frequently and wish to access TV on return to their homes, as well as those who wish to watch as need arises,” he commented.

To suscribe to Ka Weekie, viewers can use the MyDStv App, MyGOtv App, USSD *206#, Airtel Money, MTN MOMO, Banking partners and select Agents countrywide to enjoy their favorite sports, movies, dramas, and kids’ content across a variety of packages tailored to suit individual and family needs.

Asked about upgrades, “We have made it possible for a subscriber who moved to the 7-day subscription and wishes to switch back to monthly, quarterly or annual subscription,” Jamugisa explained, concluding that, “All the subscriber needs is full payment or sufficient credit on their account, less the prorated charge for their existing and active 7-day subscription product.”
