Yes MCA needs stable dividend payout. But what is nobody buys newspaper anymore? Just walk around your neighbourhood, go to 7Eleven, petrol station, India shops or the places that are selling newspapers.

Whole stack there every evening. And if the circulation numbers continue to drop, the advertisement rates that Star can charge gonna plunge as well.

Basically the demographics are changing. Advertisers are now smarter. Why put ads in paper when you can have precise targeting on Google and Facebook.

And most of the content are outdated, not many choices, no subs (despite the promised) and some shows that were supposed to air during their launch have yet to appear on the platform.

dimsum.my, the streaming service is up against Viu (backed by Li Ka-Shing's son), iFlix, Netflix, Astro on the Go and so on.

In fact, the rights to most shows have been secured exclusively by Astro for the long term. How to compete?

I believe most dimsum users are still trial users. Try asking them the number for paid-users at the next EGM.

Yeah up up up and gonna tumble real hard soon. Just watch. Bottom line is gone just like Media Prima.

Hey I don't understand here.

RM360mil came from the contribution of the Cityneon sale in July. And yet Star reported RM1.48 million pre tax loss for Q2.

Does it mean that Star actually lost more than RM300mil last quarter? Or contributions have yet to be factored in?

But then they have already declared special dividend of 30 sen from the Cityneon sale. Does it mean already factored in?

Something interesting from the Credit Suisse slides. "Potential full disposal of
AirAsia Expedia (AAE Travel)". More cash moving forward.

Got stuck. From around 0.70+ for 2 1/2 years finally move. Hopefully can cut loss or break even.

What is the reason behind the sudden spike today?
