Astro Prima is a Malaysian pay television channel owned by Astro, launched on 1 January 2003. It broadcasts Malay dramas, documentaries, classic movies and comedies.

History

In 2007, Astro launched a dedicated 24 hour news network called Astro Awani. This launch officially replaced the old Astro news service which used to run English news across entertainment channels like Astro Prima, allowing Prima to pivot entirely to Malay entertainment. Astro Prima is among Astro's main channel due to its viewing popularity.

Astro Prima launched its HD simulcast in 14 January 2019 with Astro Oasis.

Astro Prima is merged with Astro Warna for stronger reach on 3 December 2024, before the last program to air on the channel was an episode of Warung Sepahtu.
