Astro Arena
Merupakan saluran sukan pertama berbahasa Melayu 24/7 di Malaysia. Saluran ini dapat diikuti menerusi saluran 801 Astro menerusi Pakej Famili bermula 26 Mac 2010. Ia juga merupakan saluran sukan pertama dipancarkan menerusi Astro di bawah Pakej Famili Astro. Saluran Astro Arena adalah inisiatif Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Dato' Shabery Cheek bersama-sama Majlis Olimpik Malaysia dan pihak Astro untuk merealisasikan satu saluran sukan untuk perkembangan sukan dalam negara melalui televisyen. Seperti yang diketahui umum ketika Dato' Shabery Cheek memegang jawatan menteri penerangan beliau pernah menjanjikan satu saluran sukan untuk Malaysia di bawah program pendigitalan RTM (RTM Arena), tetapi setelah beliau ditukarkan untuk menerajui kementerian lain, saluran itu menjadi tanda tanya dan impian beliau untuk merealisasikannya agak kabur disebabkan RTM bukan lagi di bawah kementeriannya. Jadi dengan melalui Astro sahaja saluran ini menjadi kenyataan melalui beberapa perbincangan antara pihak Astro dan MOM. Pada 26 Mac 2010 buat pertama kalinya saluran sukan pertama Malaysia dilancarkan.
Astro Arena merupakan satu-satunya saluran sukan 24 jam sehari yang dapat diikuti oleh semua pelanggan Astro, yang mana ia diletakkan dalam Pakej Famili Astro.
UPSR Tips on ASTRO Channels
KAMPUS Astro has launched a new initiative on television to help schoolchildren taking the UPSR examinations soon.
Astro TVIQ (Channel 552), Astro Vaanavil (Channel 201) and Astro Xiao Tai Yang (Channel 325), have been airing a series of educational programmes with each episode lasting 15 minutes to bring useful tips to the students.
Students on the bilingual programme UPSR! aired on the TVIQ channel. The episodes will be aired during the weekends and start at 1.30pm.
Astro education head Yasmin Megat said that television had a great ability to engage and entertain since it was a huge part of many children’s lives.
Exam-oriented countries like the United Kingdom and Korea, were already using TV programmes and e-learning websites to assist students with revision, Yasmin said. “With this in mind, we have created a variety of UPSR programmes that will hopefully make exam revision a little less painful,” she said.
The UPSR programmes are designed to deliver useful knowledge for the examination, through an enjoyable learning experience beyond the classroom and introduce some fun into the study environment.
Kampus Astro’s new lineup for the exam season includes ‘UPSR!’, a bilingual programme in English and Bahasa Malaysia aired on Astro TVIQ,
The Xiao Tai Yang Fun Tuition in Chinese is aired on Astro Xiao Tai Yang while the UPSR 2009 Vettri Unggal Kaiyile (Victory In Your Hands)’ in Tamil will be on Astro Vaanavil.
Information about the UPSR subjects would be conveyed through the use of animation and graphics, role-play, or through the engaging delivery of qualified and experienced teachers.
In the future, Kampus Astro aims to offer more locally-relevant educational programmes across the various learning channels, including content that complements the school syllabus.
Interested pupils would also be able to sit for a trial UPSR exam online, by registering onto the Astro website at www.astro.com.my.
