AORA, the satellite pay TV platform of PT Karyamegah Adijaya, commenced its nation-wide broadcast activity in the beginning of August 2008 with a 10 channel introductory service, highlighting the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Four of the channels were dedicated to bringing the Olympic games and events to its customers’ homes. AORA earned the pay TV rights to the 2008 Olympics exclusively for Indonesia.

Still in August 2008, AORA won the offer for the pay TV sole rights in Indonesia to the Barclays Premier League (BPL) 2008/2009’s season and offered a new, 12- channel package service which includes ESPN and STAR Sports with BPL content. This allows AORA subscribers to watch in full the 370 BPL matches and selected LIVE matches in the 2008/2009 season, including preview shows and weekly highlights.

AORA plans a full-commercial launch in the first quarter of 2009, offering at least 50 channels of premium value, local and international programs of various genres to customers across Indonesia.
