After one year the Star TV Network was established by Hong Kong's Hut-chison Whampoa group and began broadcasting through Asiasat 1. Star TV's five channels (Chinese, music, sport, family entertainment and BBC news) now beam programs direct, 24 hours every day, to all areas of Asia.
一年後，由香港和記黃埔集團成立的亞洲衛星電視開播，經由亞衛一號的傳送，衛視的五個電視頻道（中文電、音樂台、體育台、合家歡台、BBC 新聞台）每天廿四小時向著亞洲各地直播節目。
