Question

## Rising Channel Rental Costs Lead RTM to Cease Broadcasting on Astro Platform

Accepted Answer

Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) will discontinue broadcasting its television channels, including TV1-HD, TV2-HD, and Okey, on Astro's platform effective July 1. This decision stems from an inability to reach a mutually agreeable pricing structure for channel rental rates, which RTM has cited as an increasing financial burden. The prolonged negotiations over these costs have made it challenging to finalise a contract that aligns with RTM's operational needs and financial capacity.
