What happened
RTM's sports channel Sukan+ is now available on Astro channel 806, expanding its reach ahead of RTM's role as official broadcaster for the Commonwealth Games Glasgow 2026. Astro customers will be able to catch the event coverage through this new channel addition.
Why it matters
For Malaysian builders in media, streaming, or content platforms, this signals continued consolidation of sports broadcasting rights among major players like Astro and RTM. It also reflects how traditional pay-TV and public broadcasters are partnering to distribute live sports content, which could inform strategies for anyone building local OTT or content distribution products.
Discussion angle
What does the Astro-RTM partnership tell us about the state of local content distribution, and where are the gaps for indie or digital-first sports streaming plays in Malaysia?
