StarTimes Media, also known as StarSat, is a privately owned company based in South Africa. A subsidiary of StarTimes, the company was founded in 1988 and operates as a tier 1 media tech buyer with approximately 60 employees, specializing in media and TV services. Functioning as a pan-African direct broadcast satellite service, StarSat is owned by Beijing-based StarTimes Communications Network Technologies Co.,LTD. StarTimes launched its services in Africa in 2008, providing a range of channels and services to 30 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa.
OnDigital Media, the license holder for StarSat, ceased operations following its recent liquidation. This occurred months after the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) conducted a raid on StarSat's Midrand headquarters in October 2024, disconnecting its broadcast signals due to a lapsed broadcasting license. StarSat, a satellite pay-TV broadcaster, subsequently ended operations.
