Ch 100 opens Aug 15. 6 other channels follow suit on Aug 30.

All 7 channels end preview on Sept 16.

For one week only, and no pop-up channel.

Uneeepai tv seems will open cenels up as well. They do this every year. Uneepai always give free cenels. Maybe they rich.

It was made for Astro GO streaming in the end, with no commercial interruptions; unlike 10 linear channels on satellite decoders.

Let's just hoping Astro get the broadcast rights of Hong Kong Horse Racing and broadcast on Astro Arena and Astro AEC.

What? So they're planning to introduce all new packs again soon?

HAHAHAHAHA... 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I like that they use the word "confuse customers" in the news article, which is brutally honest in my opinion.

So, it seems to suggest that moving forward there will only be 3 packs? And the lowest price one is around RM40-50?
If yes, then Malay, Chinese, Indian? Then which race will get the around RM40-50 price? 🤨
I don't think the 3 packs will be based by ethnic...

Or Basic, Sports, Movies?
Or what if I want both Sports and Movies? What If I only want Entertainment but don't want Sports or Movies?
Or, they will just make almost everything as add-ons, similar to Kids, Korean, News & Documentaries, where you just add it up separately according to your liking? How about streaming apps?
Hmmm ok... I wonder how are they going to repackage everything

I remember back then when they introduced the new packs in 2021, there were no such thing "Plus Packs" like Movies Plus Pack, Sports Plus Pack, and then later on, they quietly introduced Premium Pack 4, Premium Pack 5 and Platinum Lite out of nowhere.
I doubt that they will stick with their "3 packs" for long... Sooner or later they might introduce a few number of new packs again, similar like what they did back then, in the name of "strategic business decision".
Imagine now is 3 packs, then few months later, another X number of new packs, and then another X number of new packs few months later....
Why add new packs, you ask? Then they would say because the current packs "isn't performing well" so they introduce new packs to "cater those audience"...
And then few years later, they will have almost 15 packs like what we get today, in the name of confuse customers 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Deja vu?
And then they announce, oh, we're going to introduce all new refreshed packs again, and then discontinue all the old ones.
Then the cycle repeats itself. If they're happy doing this, then....   
If this really happens, then I feel like they seriously lost direction already.

Anyway, I think it's going to be "interesting" moving forward... Will see...
If their ARPU is the concern, they could also push more customers to subscribe to Astro Fibre, then that could ramp up the ARPU numbers already.
Also, combine all revenue collected from NJOI and Sooka... I believe this is what they've been doing today.

AI will harm humanity, we better destroy it before can takeover humanity work.

Btw guys, I just realised that the Love Nature (CH549), the 4K UHD channel that were previously not HDR, is now in HDR...

It is likely that they will stick to HLG standard for HDR for linear TV broadcasts for today and the future, for a seamless backward compatibility with non-HDR TVs.

RM221,773 out of RM734,880,000
Go go Astro, you can do it 😂

Habisla all the box sellers on TT & SH**EE

Just also notice my parents account of over 20 years was Magenta. Called up the CS and they are practically clueless on this. The agent saying my system screen only showing this info, unable to view more details. Then ask me to whatsapp them cos the agent is too lazy to open a case.

Not this time. Astro’s not having broadcast rights of the Paris Paralympics 2024 via its own Arena & SuperSport channels. Previously got during Tokyo 2020 edition.

Astro Arena however, will air Paralympic news regarding Malaysian athletes through Nadi Arena at 7:30 pm daily.

Ch 104 for 24 hours only, on tomorrow's Malaysia Day.

6:00 AM on Sept 16 until 6:00 AM on Sept 17. A collaboration between Astro Ria & Wonda Coffee to celebrate Malaysian unsung heroes.

Astro is just opening up advertising opportunities, hence Wonda coffee just pay a lot of money to Astro, so that all Astro Ria viewers will aware of the Wonda coffee branding, even when they're watching the programmes on Astro Ria channel throughout the 24 hour window.

If I remember correctly, I think this is the first time they putting a branding name into their existing in-house TV channel.

Better than nothing, I guess... 

We still don't know whether will they win over the dispute with LHDN or not...
If they lose and have to pay that RM700 mil tax, they'll have their ways to pay that.
Advertising is not their only source of income anyway 

Until it really happens, I choose not to believe this news. They keep delay and delay so many times already, and then no news after that...
