like mega tv last time, slowly slowly dieded - same pattern astro going through now - a very slow death  sweat.gif

"Faced with stiff competition from the Astro satellite television network which was launched seven months later, combined with the failures to expand its content, Mega TV ceased operations on 1 October 2001 as a result, leaving Astro as the one and only pay-TV service provider in Malaysia. Following Mega TV's shutdown, many of its subscribers have been switched to Astro.[51][52][53] This comes after its parent company, the Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad (MRCB) on the same date announced to divested itself from its media arm, namely TV3 and New Straits Times Press (NSTP) and transferring them to Profitune, which primarily focused on multimedia business before it went on to become Media Prima a year later, in 2002.[54]"

Then keep on repeating old stuff again and again. Some shows were good la, but keep repeating it again for what?

astro's value proposition has been spiralling downwards for decades, so many ppl stop using it. in return, to cut cost, they had to cut expenses, lower down their value even further

it's a vicious cycle

This is why more and more local contents in Astro. Production houses has to compete with better contents to get slots on Astro for their drama or series. Those who are not watching local contents will find this is annoying.

Actually not just astro, cable tv business died all over the world. The market move to Netflix like platform with their own original series to maintain customer

Astro however good at making local movies with it's astro shaw. Last time they released tv series High Council also it was a hit but the caveat is that tv series only viral after it released on Netflix
