2023 GOtv packages and channel lists
The African most popular pay-TV GOtv offers different packages that suit your need and I am going to list all the GOtv packages and channel lists to help you choose from the various packages.
GOtv is a pay television service owned by Multichoice, which itself is also the parent company of DSTV, another popular pay television. Unlike DSTV, GOtv employs the use of terrestrial TV protocols to broadcast its signals. Opting for terrestrial technology rather than satellite communication ensures the subscription cost is kept low although at an expense: an outlay of quality.
In terrestrial broadcast, audio and picture quality is lesser than the former. This makes GOtv a less favourable pay-tv service compared with those transmitted through satellites to earth dishes.

GOtv came into the Nigerian market much later than DSTV. The purpose of its introduction is to capture the market left behind by DSTV due to the latter’s expensive subscription bouquets. Compared to DSTV subscription packages, GOtv subscriptions are way cheaper being that it uses terrestrial broadcast technology.
Another reason GOtv packages are cheap is that certain premium sporting events aren’t under those packages. This brings to bear the question of whether GOtv does broadcast football and other sporting events like the English Premier League.
Does GOtv Packages Broadcast EPL And UEFA Champions League Live Matches
Although exclusive licence to broadcast the English premier league has been offered Supersport, a splinter company of Multichoice, the Supersport EPL channel has yet to be added to any of GOtv’s package.
Notwithstanding, the ‘Supersport football’ channel available in some of GOtv’s packages broadcasts some premier league live matches, although not the cardinal ones. You wouldn’t also be able to watch live UEFA champions league matches on any of GOtv’s packages like the ‘SuperSport football plus’ channel which broadcast such is unavailable in any of the packages.
Pay Per View — Unavailable On GOtv
A pay per view payment model in respect to broadcast communication implies that a subscriber gets charged based on channels viewed daily rather than by a mandatory periodic charge with no regard to whether you accessed your TV under the period. With a pay per view mode,l you get served what you paid for during the period you so which.
Unfortunately, GOtv operates no such model. The only known broadcaster which offers such service is TSTV. Multichoice, when encouraged to follow in the same path, argued that the model is unachievable because unlike in telecommunication which such is employed in call billing, being a one-way communication, there is no way broadcasters can determine whether subscribers are viewing a particular channel at an instant.
However, although there’s no pay-per-view structure with GOtv, the subscription packages offered are quite affordable and all packed with exciting channels.
GOtv packages Subscription Bouquets And Channels
Before making a purchase and despite having knowledge of the affordability of the GOtv packages compared to similar ones from other brands, it is sensible to get a review of those packages. Doing so would ensure you subscribe to the package which suits your need. The packages are as follows:

Gotv Smallie Package Monthly
Fully deserving of its name, the Smallie package is one for low budget subscribers who couldn’t do without family entertainment. The package has in its pack channels which would deservedly have been free-to-air, by reason of the fact that licences are not paid for by the pay-tv company to broadcast them.
The Smallie monthly package includes one sports channel, twenty local channels, one general entertainment channel, one child channel, two music channels, four religion channels, and four news and commerce channels.
The full channel list available on the GOtv Smallie package are as follows:
Channel Categories | Channel Names | Assigned Channel Numbers |

Gotv Smallie package Yearly
This package packs the same channels which the Smallie monthly has, with the difference being the price and duration of subscription. While the Smallie monthly serves a month’s duration, the Smallie Yearly package valids through twelve months (a year).
Subscribing to the yearly pack is much better and worthy a decision than going for the monthly pack. If the N6,200 subscription price is split into twelve month, each month’s payment would have been about N500; a much discounted sum.
