No need to pay BPL broadcasting rights. They cannot maintain current sport package rates to customer.

Besides ringgit depreciation, the EPL right cost rise high AF aS well. I dont think the cost will reduce even if there is any competition. But I am not sports fan haha

hye guys i would like to ask some questions

i planned to upgrade to byond soon (better late than never)
and i would like to change my package as well.

currently i am subscribing family + 2 mini
I would like to change to family + 1 mini + mustika + byond.

I tried changing online using astro selfservice however it wont allow me to choose only 1 mini package.

Is it not possible at all?
thanks

The smart squirrel had a bad fall finally! They can go to hell with their strategies! Now all they hv is the sports pack to extort customers. Even then many like me hv given up sports pack too . they are the most expensive with not many premium content all mainly asian malaysian versions. The asian Movie Pack is a dumping ground,there is nothing great to subscribe in assstro!They never improved on PQ still on MPEG2 and having a poor PQ HD and the worst SD

Price tsunami incoming

Astro Njoi customer also can buy this special pass.

Haha this like a big F U to your face

Wow thats new 😏

good job,we need many more msians like you, cut off asstro for at least for 6 months to cripple asstro

PETALING JAYA: Astro Malaysia Holdings Bhd’s net profit surged 20.12% to RM202.17mil for the first financial quarter to April 30, 2016, compared to the same quarter a year ago on the back of lower depreciation of property, plant and equipment and finance cost.

Its revenue jumped 2.46% to RM1.36bil mainly due to an increase in advertising and home-shopping of RM14.1mil and RM27.4mil, offset by a decrease in subscription revenue of RM11.2mil.[COLOR=red]

Earnings per share increased to 3.88 sen from 3.23 sen previously.

Astro also declared a first interim single-tier dividend of three sen per share. This is higher than the 2.75 sen it had declared in the same quarter of the previous year.

The company has a cash position of RM553.1mil compared to RM595.7mil for the period.

On its higher net profit, this increase was due to lower depreciation of property, plant and equipment by RM19mil and lower net finance cost by RM34.2mil due to a higher unrealised foreign exchange gain arising from unhedged finance lease liability of RM31.4mil and unhedged vendor financing of RM9.8mil. This was offset by an increase in the transponder’s lease interest of RM6.3mil and offset by higher tax expenses by RM15.2mil.

The decrease in subscription revenue was due to a decrease in pay-TV residential subscribers [COLOR=red]by 1,000 (from 3,504,500 to 3,503,500), while the average revenue per user for pay-TV residential subscribers remained at RM99.

Radio’s revenue for the current quarter of RM72mil was higher by RM10.2mil compared with the previous corresponding quarter of RM61.8mil. The higher revenue performance was driven by continuous strong listenership ratings.

Compared to the first quarter of its financial year ended Jan 31, 2016, its average revenue per user remained the same at RM99, while its churn rate reduced slightly to 10% from 10.3% previously.
