Star Group

Transforming Asia's media landscape

Launched in 1991 with five television channels, STAR pioneered satellite television in Asia and in the process catalysed explosive growth in the media industry across the entire region.

Coupled with the opening up of Asian economies, access to satellite television redefined the viewing experience for millions. Providing more people with more choice than ever before, STAR set new standards in content, production and variety.

Today STAR broadcasts over 50 services in eight languages and offers a comprehensive choice of entertainment, sports, movies, music, news and documentaries.

Reaching more than 300 million viewers in 53 countries across Asia, STAR is watched by approximately 100 million viewers every day.

STAR controls over 20,000 hours of Indian and Chinese programming and also owns the world's largest contemporary Chinese film library, with more than 600 titles, featuring superstars including Jackie Chan, Chow Yun Fat and Bruce Lee. In partnership with leading companies in Asia, STAR businesses extend to filmed entertainment, television production, cable systems and wireless and digital services.

STAR is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the News Corporation.
