[sunting] Sejarah

STAR awalnya dibuat tahun 1990 oleh Hutchison Whampoa, dimana pada tahun 1995 diakuisisi oleh Rupert Murdoch News Corporation sebanyak 63,5%.

Tahun 1994 STAR menghilangkan saluran BBC World untuk wilayah China disebabkan pemerintahan komunis yang berkuasa tidak mengkehendaki adanya berita dari Barat di wilayahnya.

[sunting] Saluran

STAR's revenues have increased from $220 million in 2003 to $245 million in 2004. STAR has emerged as India's second-largest media company after Bennett, Coleman & Co which is the publisher of Times of India. STAR's main revenues come from India, with 80% of Indian viewers watching Star channels.

The Economist has suggested that News Corporation may eventually merge STAR with BSkyB and DirecTV (its United Kingdom and United States satellite businesses) to form a global satellite TV company.

STAR TV should not be confused with StarChoice in Canada -- neither they nor its parent, Shaw Communications, own any interest in STAR TV.

[sunting] History

STAR was set up in 1990 by Hutchison Whampoa, with broadcasts commencing in 1991. In 1993 Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation purchased 63.6% of STAR for over $500 million, followed by the purchase of the remaining 34.6% in July 1995.

In 1994 STAR removed BBC World Service Television (now BBC World) from the network following demands from the government of the People's Republic of China. It is alleged that the PRC government was unhappy with BBC coverage and threatened to block Star TV in the huge mainland Chinese market if the BBC was not withdrawn. This is despite technology that is capable of blocking BBC World in China, while making it available in other countries they serve. [1] [2] [3]
