Astro Awani, a privately owned company headquartered in Malaysia, founded in 2006, employs approximately 120 individuals and functions as a tier 1 media tech buyer. The company specializes in broadcast television and radio, operating as a Malaysian broadcast media company offering news content. It first operated in 2006 after a joint venture between Astro and Indian based NDTV.
Astro AWANI was named Malaysia’s most trusted news brand for the ninth consecutive year on June 17, 2026, according to the Reuters Institute Digital News Report, even as overall public trust in the country’s news media recorded its sharpest single-year drop in recent years. Previously, in April 2026, the broadcasting outlet joined a collaboration with the TV BRICS International Media Network, which aims to strengthen integration cooperation between countries of Southeast Asia and BRICS. This followed the appointment of former Astro AWANI editor-in-chief Ashwad Ismail as the new Broadcasting director-general on February 23, 2026, an appointment welcomed by Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil.
