Astro has announced five new Free Ad-Supported Streaming Television (FAST) channels for its subscribers at no extra cost. This comes a few months after its streaming service, sooka, partnered with Amagi to introduce the FAST channels to its platform. As its name implies, the channels are free to watch even without a subscription, but you’ll have to sit through ads.
The five new channels are Filem Mantap, Drama Hebat, Drama Hotpot, Lawak Sentral, and Travel & Taste. Drama Hotspot offers a variety of drama series in different languages while the new travel channel has programmes showcasing food in various locations; the other three channels stream Malay-language content.
With this latest addition, sooka and NJOI users now have access to 19 FAST channels. This includes Astro Awani, Astro Arena, TV 1, TV 2, ESTB, Tastemade, Gusto TV, K-POPCORN, EDGEsport, Infamous TV, YRF Music, Bollywood Prime, and more.
Those who are interested in accessing the VIP channels will have to purchase a sooka subscription pack, ranging from RM12.90 for a day pass and from RM15.90 for a monthly pass. Alternatively, existing NJOI customers who want more channels can purchase the Family Pack at RM29.90 per month, which gives you access to 43 premium channels.
