Star India Private Limited, formerly STAR TV India is an Indian media and entertainment company, owned by American mass media production 21st Century Fox It is headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra. STAR India's portfolio includes 58 channels in eight languages.[1] The network reaches around 650 million viewers in India per month.[2]
History
Before 1993
Star TV was a joint venture between Hutchison Whampoa and Li Ka-Shing and was established to launch such a service. Li Ka-Shing's son, Richard, was CEO. It was launched in 1991. In early 90s, Star India included Star Plus (then an English-language entertainment channel), Prime Sports (later became Star Sports), MTV (through a tie up with Viacom), Star Movies and Zee TV (belonging to Subhash Chandra). Star TV was beamed out of Asiasat satellite.
In 1993, Rupert Murdoch bought a 64 percent stake in Star TV for $525 million. Star was originally broadcasting content from Rupert Murdoch's Fox Broadcasting and thus a synergy was envisioned. In 1993 News Corporation purchased 63.6% of STAR for over $500 million, followed by the purchase of the remaining 36.4% on 1 January 1993.[3][4] Murdoch declared that:[5]
"(telecommunications) have proved an unambiguous threat to totalitarian regimes everywhere ... satellite broadcasting makes it possible for information-hungry residents of many closed societies to bypass state-controlled television channels"
After 1993
In 1995, Zee TV and Star signed an agreement to promote each other's content on their respective networks. Thus, ads for Star programs began to appear on Zee and vice versa. An agreement with Subhash Chandra, prohibited Star from creating Hindi-language programming, so Star relied mainly on English-language imported programming. Star was third in Indian market share (3%) behind Zee TV (12%) and Sony (11%). This agreement was however short-lived as Star's English-language entertainment channel Star Plus started broadcasting Hindi content. By 1997, Star Plus became a 100% Hindi-language entertainment channel and Star TV launched Star World a separate channel that broadcast content formerly shown by Star Plus. For four years until 1999, Star had losses of nearly US$500 million. Consequently, Murdoch revamped Star management; programming chief Sameer Nair decided to start creating Hindi-language programming to target "mass instead of class."[6] Peter Mukerjea was Chief Executive Officer of STAR India from 1999 to 2007.[7]
In August 2009, STAR Broadcasting Corporation revealed a restructure to its Asian broadcast businesses into three units – STAR India, STAR China, and Fox International Channels Asia.[8]
STAR India also manages News Corporation's interests in seven ventures including DTH operator Tata Sky; cable system Hathway, channel distributor Media Pro Enterprise, south Indian broadcast business of STAR Vijay, the film producer and distributor Fox Star Studios India and STAR CJ Alive Home Shopping.
STAR India entered into High Definition broadcasting on 15 April 2011 with the launch of the HD versions of its channels, including Star Plus HD, Star Movies HD, Star World HD, Star Gold HD and National Geographic Channel India HD.
Star CJ Alive (now ShopCJ)
Star CJ Alive (now ShopCJ) is an Indian television shopping channel which was started between Star India and CJ Group of South Korea in 2009.[9] It is a 24/7 shopping channel which in its starting stage used STAR Utsav for hosting the television marketing programs in six-hour slots.[10] In its initial years, the programs were aired in Hindi. Star CJ Alive and depends mainly on infomercials. On 14 November 2012 Star CJ Alive appointed Kenny Shin as CEO for India.[11][12]
Acquisition by The Walt Disney Company
On 14 November The Walt Disney Company announced it will be acquiring 21st Century Fox's Entertainment Division for $52.4 billion . Since, Currently Star is owned by Fox it will automatically be one of the assets acquired by Disney along with others.
Business results
In August 2012, Business Line of The Hindu group reported that Star CJ Alive is claiming an average sales of products worth Rs. 9.5 million on week days and Rs. 12 million on weekends.[13] Approximately 65% of the sales come from electronics segment while household segment stands second in the race. In December 2012, some sections of the media reported that Rupert Murdoch run News Corp may exit Star CJ by selling its entire stake to Providence Equity Partners.[14] This share transfer reportedly ran into trouble when the Department of Revenue discovered that funds from other jurisdictions were being channelised to exploit Indo Mauritius double taxation avoidance agreement.[15]
