From Aug 31, 2015, Astro will have three new channels to fulfill the needs of its 18 million viewers which are increasing by the day.

The new channels are HGTV HD (Channel 731), Nat Geo People HD (Channel 725) and Star Chinese (Channel 315).

Astro Content Management Group vice-president, Agnes Rozario, said the company the move was in line with the company’s aim to continue bringing the latest content.
