Astro Head of Sports CK Lee explained that there are two types of broadcasting rights for the World Cup tournament – Pay TV and Free-To-Air rights (FTA).
In Malaysia, the Pay TV broadcasting rights is held by Astro.
The govt intends to lower the cost of living. Investors are worried about RTM offers more quality tv programs that would jeopardise astro's earnings :)

Since its listing in 2012, Astro has struggled to stay above its listing price of RM3 per share. The dominant pay-TV provider in Malaysia valuations are at some 15.2 times forward PER for FY19 now, according to Affin Hwang Capital.
This valuation is near the mean forward PER of various other pay-TV operators around the world of 15.5 times, with SkyUK at 18.9 times and Starhub Ltd at 19.6 times.
Given the dynamics and lowered share price at present, its shares could be supported by the rising prospects of a privatisation exercise should its major shareholders decide to do so.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
