sooka & NJOI customers can now access 5 new FAST channels from Astrohttps://marketingmagazine.com.my/sooka-njoi...els-from-astro/FAST stands for
Free Ad-Supported TelevisionIn other words, it means free rojak channels that recycle all the many-years-ago TV shows, and then with slot-in ads in between commercial breaks.
Some people (including me) would find it rubbish, but
there are people out there that cares about
quantity more than quality, so to them, the
more number of TV channels, the better.
And for sure there'll some Astro customers out there will make noise and say things like "
I pay so much every month, yet NJOI customers can get the 5 new channels for free. That's not fair."
But seriously, FAST channels are not "premium channels". As an Astro customer who is paying a premium price every month, do you really need uh.... new rojak low quality channels?
Obviously, they made these
rojak FAST channels only available on NJOI and Sooka platforms for a reason.
Since those channels will keep looping those many-year-old shows, I believe in Astro's perspective, it is a very cheap way to "increase number of TV channels", and that is a good news to those low or never-paying NJOI customers, cuz it gives them more choice of channels/programmes to watch. Well, it's old shows anyway.
And NJOI can take this opportunity to upsell their prepaid packs offerings during commercial breaks, especially their NJOI Family Pack, which can potentially increase their revenue.
Free low quality channels, still better than nothing.
