Astro extends free access until 12 May, now with additional channels for existing customers

Because of the prolonged Movement Control Order (MCO), Astro had previously offered free channel viewing for certain channels each time the order had been extended. With another extension announced by Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin until the 12th May, Astro is extending their complimentary access again, and this time with additional learning channels.

The new learning channels that are free to view for all Astro customers until the 12th May include:

  • National Geographic Channel
  • Discovery Channel
  • Discovery Science
  • HISTORY
  • Animal Planet
  • Discovery Asia
  • Nat Geo WILD

These new additions are great for educational purposes, since all schools, including kindergartens, government and private schools have been closed since 18th March. Immersive shows like ‘Underworld Inc.’ and ‘Michael Palin’s Journey’ can be viewed on the National Geographic channel, and fun science-y shows like ‘Man vs. Bear’ and ‘How It’s Made’ can be seen on the Discovery Channel.
