The rebranding to Utsav is because Disney plans to use ‘Star’ as the new name for all the FOX-branded channels outside the US (the ones not owned by FOX Corp).

Basically, Disney pretty much stole the “Star” brand from Star India, just because it’s a nice name and they already own it.

So we might see something like this in the future:
FOX -> Star
FOXlife -> StarWorld (maybe)
FOX Family Movies -> Star Family Movies
FOX+ -> STAR+

Star Vijay -> Utsav Vijay (or Vijay TV)
StarPlus -> Utsav Plus

Eventually, we will follow suit.

What if...
FOX Movies > FXM
FOX > ABC
FOX Life > Freeform
FOX Sports > ESPN
🤣

The website put Astro Awani HD instead of Astro Awani. Means Astro Awani will be available in HD sometime.

I think what he meant is that Njoi viewers may need to pay to access channels like AEC HD once all SD simulcast channels ceased on Astro. 😅

This is called "another source of income" 
Because from business perspective, they know that having UPSR/PT3/SPM or home based learning channels like TV Pendidikan is not gonna earn much money, and advertisers ain't so convinced with the viewership.
Right now because schools can't be open as usual, they got no choice but to implement it back in the form of like Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). 

Slotting in airtimes in existing NTV7 and TV9 slots is still cheaper than creating a whole new channel, which would costs even more money and time.
Media Prima gets another source of income from government (since they sell their airtimes to government instead of Wow Shop), and they gets to enhance its reputation/public image.
And NTV7 and TV9 is already a channel that are familiar with Malaysians, and it is available across digital TV and pay TV platforms now, so it also means easy access to everyone.
Looks like win-win to me. 

Sad viewer here. Astro technically 'kencing-ed' us with the fake promise to upgrade it before Deepavali. Pooodaaah 😔

SD number no more.

The update is so long... almost 30 minutes but just now is 34%... its kinda slower

Very likely will rebrand from Fox into Star again. Like I said before, it is just a matter of when.

Also, Disney+ promoting campaign is just about to get started

Maybe one of the reasons that Starhub pull off all Fox branded channels on its platform, is also because the number of Starhub TV subscribers continues to drop to 314k? As a cost reduction measures? 


Very likely that Astro would also introduce "Starhub TV+"-like services as well (because that's the only way to make themselves grow further these days, in my opinion la)... 
Imagine in the future we would be able to access those streaming apps straight on Ulti/Ultra Box someday.  
Considering the fact that Astro also offers Astro & Broadband / Astro IPTV services, in the future we might see things like Internet + TV + content streaming subscriptions = Astro
All the "essential" stuff (to most people) of having great entertainment experience at home and on the go, in a single Astro bill. Hmm, nice la. 

Possible new channels? Or... 

Huh?
Another in house rojak channel,..

Plot twist: Disney Channels is now part of a la carte package, instead of under Kids pack 😂😂😂😂

Another plot twist: Subscribe to that package that has Disney channels in it, would include Disney+ subscription when it launches in Malaysia in the future 😂😂😂😂

Ahh, maybe the departure of Disney channels on Astro back then, is just for show. LOL...

astro dont have idea to make tv name lol

Ta-daa! Channel ident is really same with Fam TV ident.
