Astro to raise pay-TV rates next month


Astro All Asia Networks Plc will raise pay-television rates next month, a move that may add RM83mil to its annual sales given its subscriber base of 1.39 million people at the end of January. 

The pay-TV operator said in the May edition of its viewers' guide that it would raise monthly subscription rates by RM5 after May 24 “to improve the variety of programmes and channels.'' Astro expects to “deliver over a hundred channels by next year, courtesy of a new Measat 3 satellite.'' It did not elaborate.
