MYTV Mana-Mana offers premium TV content ‘priced for Malaysians'

Malaysians can now look forward to even more local and international content with the launch of MYTV Mana-Mana Premium, at an affordable RM6.90 a month. This upgrade comes two years after the introduction of the local over-the-top (OTT) streaming platform that provides free digital content across a range of genres including news, entertainment, lifestyle and education. With the premium option now available, MYTV Broadcasting – the company behind the platform – offers not just 22 live TV channels and 22 live radio stations, but also video-on-demand content and MYTV original shows. And importantly, the premium version comes without advertisements, providing viewers an uninterrupted experience. At the official launch of the service in Kuala Lumpur recently, group chief executive officer of MYTV Broadcasting, Mohamad Helmi Harith, stressed that the introduction of the premium model does not mean the end of the free service. 'Yes, today we're launching MYTV Mana-Mana Premium – but I want to make one thing very clear – the free version, which is already available, is still here and will continue to be here for everyone to enjoy,' he said. 'That remains our commitment because MYTV Mana-Mana was created for all Malaysians, from every walk of life.' He added: 'Now, for those who want more – more choices, more live TV channels, more original content and more on-demand shows – we're unlocking the next level. 'MyTV Mana-Mana Premium is our way of offering a richer experience at an affordable price.' 'Priced for Malaysians' Proudly stating that the platform is 'made for Malaysians and priced for Malaysians', it offers three subscription plans, all of which allow access across four devices. Users can opt to pay RM6.90 for one month, RM19.90 for three months or RM74.90 for a full year. An additional premium package is also available, priced slightly higher with more features, at RM9.90 monthly, RM28.90 for three months and RM106.90 annually. 'Premium entertainment doesn't have to come with a premium price,' said Syaffandi Shahrom, acting chief operating officer of MYTV Broadcasting. 'MYTV Mana-Mana Premium is built for families, students and individuals alike whether you watch on your mobile, tablet or big screen via Google TV. 'With this low entry rate, we truly hope that everyone from urban areas to rural communities can all enjoy the full offerings of MYTV Mana-Mana Premium.' The platform features a mix of channels that includes KCM, Rock Action, Rock Entertainment, Aniplus, One, Arirang, Global Trekker, CNA, Suke TV and RTM's TV1 and TV2, to name a few. The content spans Hollywood films, local and international dramas, sports, anime, cartoons, travel programmes and documentaries. Check out K-dramas such as 'Oh My Ghost Clients' on the platfrom.

Several projects are currently in production, with plans to launch in the coming months. Actor-producer Datuk Rosyam Nor, who is partnering with MYTV through his production company to develop two drama series, welcomed the new platform as a much-needed addition to Malaysia's creative ecosystem. 'I'm grateful that we now have another local platform. This creates more opportunities for Malaysia's creative industry to showcase its content,' he said. His company is preparing two 30-episode dramas, titled Semanis Warda and Musnah Itu Janji. Rosyam Nor says having another platform is good for the creative industry.

'Her heartbreak deepens when she's told that one of her newborn twins has died. 'The truth is the baby was secretly given to the first wife, who cannot conceive,' Rosyam said. Another series in the works under the Originals umbrella is Suri Hati Mr Parlimen, said to be inspired by the real-life relationship between singer-actress Bella Astillah and Muar MP Syed Saddiq. The platform is also developing Cinta A.I., a 20-episode series based on a webtoon about a man who uses artificial intelligence to win the heart of his dream girl. Also on the slate are Dua Dunia, which explores the life of a man with two personalities, and Biar Hati Berbicara, a moving drama about a mute girl who is betrayed by her boyfriend.
