MultiChoice has boosted family viewing by adding DreamWorks, Nickelodeon, and Nick Jr. to its DStv Family package, starting Monday, 25 August 2025.

This upgrade cements DStv Family as South Africa’s go-to destination for kids’ entertainment.

Subscribers can access the package for R339 per month via decoder or R299 per month for a streaming-only option.

By including these three globally acclaimed kids’ channels, MultiChoice is executing its strategy to deliver greater content value in mid-tier packages while meeting families’ demand for safe, educational, and high-quality children’s programming.

What’s New on the Family Package

The newly added channels are household names:

  • DreamWorks: Known for animated blockbusters like ShrekKung Fu Panda, and How to Train Your Dragon, DreamWorks will bring high-energy, imaginative storytelling to children of all ages
  • Nickelodeon: A long-time favourite among tweens and teens, Nick features hit shows such as SpongeBob SquarePantsThe Loud House, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
  • Nick Jr.: Geared toward preschoolers, Nick Jr. offers trusted titles like Paw PatrolDora the Explorer, and Blue’s Clues, blending fun with fundamental learning

With these additions, DStv Family now offers 14 dedicated kids’ channels, in addition to a variety of family-friendly content across genres.

Smarter Viewing, More Value

The DStv Family package lets households stream on multiple devices, so children can watch on phones or tablets while parents enjoy different programming.

This flexibility, combined with the DStv Stream app, makes the service more convenient for modern families.

DStv has also emphasized that the Family package keeps increasing in value.

Earlier in 2025, it added Comedy Central, HGTV, and Disney Channel, and now, with the arrival of premium kids’ channels, the package stands out as one of the most competitive offers in South Africa’s pay-TV market.

With increasing competition from streaming platforms like Netflix and YouTube, MultiChoice’s recent upgrades demonstrate its commitment to retaining subscribers through content-rich, value-driven packages.
