Astro's earnings declined 8.6% y.o.y to RM126m, dragged down by higher content costs & broadcast of sporting events like Euro 2016. Its home-shopping segment is also making grounds, increasing 86% y.o.y, proving its popularity among consumers. Adding to its existing nine radio stations, Astro recently bought two additional new radio station licences from Star Media Group for approximately RM42m.
