The Survival of Malaysia’s National Television Within a Changing Mediascape Fuziah Kartini Hassan Basri Abdul Latiff Ahmad Emma Mirza Wati Mohamad Arina Anis Azlan Hasrul Hashim School of Media and Communication Studies Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia 43600. Bangi Selangor MALAYSIA The Innovation Journal: The Public Sector Innovation Journal, Vol. 16(3), 2011, article 2. The Survival of Malaysia’s National Television Within a Changing Mediascape Fuziah Kartini Hassan Basri, Abdul Latiff Ahmad, Emma Mirza Wati Mohamad, Arina Anis Azlan and Hasrul Hashim ABSTRACT National television is the term used to describe television broadcasting owned and maintained for the public by the national government, and usually aimed at educational, informational and cultural programming. By this definition, Radio Televisyen Malaysia’s TV1 is the national television in Malaysia and until 1984 was the only television broadcast offered to Malaysians. With the privatization policy, new and private stations were established, and RTM eventually faced competition. The advent of direct satellite broadcasting saw another development in the country—the establishment of Astro in 1998. The direct-to-user satellite broadcaster currently carries over 100 channels, including 8 HD channels, thus creating many more choices for viewers. More importantly, Astro carries the global media directly into our homes. International offerings such as CNN, BBC, CCTV, HBO, MTV, FOX, ESPN, Star Sports, and Star World are now within the push of a button for most Malaysians. Astro is a success story, but there were also a few failed attempts along the way such as MetroVision, MegaTV and MiTV.

Television has now become a bigger market compared to the film market for cinema screening. This is contributed by the increasing number of television channels in Malaysia which has eight free television channels i.e. TV1, TV2, TVi, TV3, NTV7, 8TV, TV9 and TV Al-Hijrah. Paid television network named ASTRO satellite television which serves more than 170 television channels has also provided new market opportunity through the channels of Astro Ria, Astro Prima and Astro Mustika. ASTRO also provides market opportunity for producers to broadcast recent films premiered in cinema through the pay per view channel known as Astro First. However, the ownership of television channels by particular company is feared to prompt monopoly in television market. This article discusses the effect on Malaysian film producers or production companies in Malaysia television market. Among issues being discussed are procedure to purchase television programme by government television network i.e. Radio dan Televisyen Malaysia (RTM), issue of low price purchase, ownership of products copyright by private television network and continually increment in subscription price by the first satellite television in Malaysia, ASTRO. Keywords: Television market, Monopoly, Film, Producer, ASTRO, RTM, Media Prima, TV3.
