On our previous post, it shows that Astro Hitz plans to cease its channel on 16 May 2016, and it happened as mentioned.
Facebook user named "Josh HD" posted a video to official Astro Facebook page, mainly is to show how is the channel is being cease, and also the last 2 English music videos aired before it ceases with a few advertisements.
Based on this video, you can see that this user start to record the video using his/her camera on 11.51pm as shown on the Astro info banner as he/she opens the info banner by pressing "ok" button. The second last music video aired before it ceases is Thinking About You by Calvin Harris. The last music video ever aired on Astro is People Like Us by Kelly Clarkson.
Around 1 minute before the channel ceases, it aired several programmes advertisements, followed by one of the Astro Hitz channel ident. On 12.00am sharp, the channel suddenly appeared a message with blue background with the text "Please be informed Astro HITZ has ceased transmission" (see picture above). The process of the ending was pretty odd, but this is how it happened.
As we look at the post reactions on Astro Facebook page, few users asked if there's any channel replacement for it. Still, viewers demanded Astro to bring back Channel [V], which it has ceased transmission back in 2010.
Astro Hitz is Malaysian music video channel provided by Astro, where it broadcasts English music videos most of the time. The channel was launched back in 20 October 2003 and serves as a visual entertainment complement of hitz.fm. SOURCE: [1] [2] [3] |
