• STAR TV → Star TV (Asian TV network)
• STAR (Greater China) → Star TV (greater China)
• STAR One → Star One (Indian TV channel)
• STAR Utsav → Star Utsav

– per MOS:TM / WP:ALLCAPS, disambiguation, and consistency of title format for related topics. The all-caps is not consistently followed in sources, and is not even used consistently in self-published promotional material such as the logo shown at the top of the topic's own website http://www.startv.com/ (at least not in my location). Although it may officially be an acronym, it is clearly not meant to be pronounced by spelling out the letters. Nearly all other affiliated topics have already been moved from "STAR" to "Star" (see Talk:Star Jalsha and the various topics listed in Template:STAR, which I think all have "Star" names except these). Disambiguation is also desirable, as various other topics are listed at the dab pages at Star TV and STAR 1. —BarrelProof (talk) 17:06, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

• Support, all stylisms not acronyms. In ictu oculi (talk) 11:01, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
• Aren't Star TV (Asian TV network) and Star TV (greater China) ambiguous with each other? Jenks24 (talk) 10:25, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
  • BarrelProof? Jenks24 (talk) 12:24, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
    • If so, I think they were already ambiguous. I don't think this move would make the situation any worse. How about moving STAR TV → Star TV (Asian TV networks), since it is a group of affiliated networks? —BarrelProof (talk) 15:31, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
    • Incidentally, on second thought, "greater China" should probably be "Greater China", since the article on that topic capitalizes the term as a proper noun. —BarrelProof (talk) 18:00, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

Support revised proposals with capital G In ictu oculi (talk) 23:54, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

• Oppose, except for STAR Utsav. STAR (Greater China) is now Star China Media. Star One was renamed/rebranded as Life OK and Star Life OK, so should be merged with its article. Spshu (talk) 19:27, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
  • It doesn't sound like you're really opposed to the spirit of what is being suggested. If I understand correctly, you're not opposed to moving STAR (Greater China) but you have a different suggested name for it; you're not opposed to getting rid of the title STAR One, but you have a different suggestion on how to accomplish that, and you're not opposed to moving STAR Utsav as suggested. Are you opposed to moving STAR TV? You didn't comment about that. I would be happy with your suggestion to move STAR (Greater China) to Star China Media. For STAR One, I see no harm in moving it now and potentially merging it later. Renaming is easier than rewriting. —BarrelProof (talk) 19:39, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
• Support per MOS:CAPS; none of these things are acronyms, and the capitalization is just "vanity caps", as with "SONY" (Sony). No objection to the variances BarrelProof suggests be applied to the original proposal for greater accuracy.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼  23:26, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Star TV (Asian TV networks) → Fox Networks Group Asia Pacific – Going to do a massive edit of articles about what was originally known as STAR TV and the channels operated by it, no matter the time it takes.

According to the Companies Registry in Hong Kong, the company was originally registered on 31 August 1990 as Quford Limited. It changed name to Hutchvision Channel Services Limited on 31 January 1991, and then to Satellite Television Asian Region Limited on 4 July 1991. Chinese name was later registered on 21 December 1993 as 衞星電視有限公司. After decades, the company's name was changed to Fox International Channels Asia Pacific Limited (福斯國際電視網有限公司) on 2 September 2014, and then Fox Networks Group Asia Pacific Limited (福斯傳媒有限公司) on 29 February 2016.

Note that, although the company changed its trade name from STAR TV simply to Star in February 2001 (and the original full name was made redundant since then), its legal name was still Satellite Television Asian Region Limited until 2014.

(It is impossible to link to an information from the Companies Registry, so you need to go to https://www.icris.cr.gov.hk/csci/ and look for Fox Networks Group Asia Pacific Limited.) JSH-alive/^{talk/cont/mail} 14:42, 28 November 2018 (UTC)--Relisted. –Ammarpad (talk) 18:32, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

• Comment: My issue here is that none of this is at the article, and there's no sourcing to back any of this up. Also, WP:OFFICIALNAME comes to mind – what the parent company calls this business entity may not be how it's commonly referred to. So, until there's any support offered that "Fox Networks Group Asia Pacific Limited" is actually the WP:COMMONNAME for this, I am inclined to oppose (though I acknowledge that the current disambiguation does not appear to follow WP:NCBC either...). --IJBall (contribs • talk) 13:35, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
  • I'm going to formally oppose this proposal for the reasons I've outlined above. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 00:53, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose per IJBall. If there's a worry about the article losing traffic due to the term Fox Networks Group Asia Pacific not having a page, there's no harm in creating one but from what I can see it appears that the name most use to refer to the station is Star TV. SITH (talk) 13:35, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

Clarification: when I say creating one I mean a redirect. SITH (talk) 13:35, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

Vandalism

I want to say that DISNEY CHANNELS are not a part of STAR TV, and there is no such thing as a "STAR MAGIC HBO/MAX PACK" package on STAR TV. It was all an act of VANDALISM.

Eve215454 04:42, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Clean-Up

STAR TV article needs Clean-Up, because things here are not in order and there are some topics that NOT FACTUAL. I'm talking about the "STAR MAGIC HBO MAX KBS Channels" topic, because STAR doesn't have an MOA with HBO Asia and KBS. I know it, because i'm a subscriber of STAR Channel.

Eve215454 13:50, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm particular about the DISNEY CHANNELS, because there are no citation and no SOURCES.

STAR Select?

Could someone please clarify this for me? Is it a competitor to Showtime Arabia, ART, and Orbit? -Daniel Blanchette 02:07, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

as far as i know, it is a part of ART (Awael+firstnet+Pehla) so u can say that ART is a competitor to showtime Arabia --eL_3eDeL 21:37, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Baby TV was including in STAR TV

Baby Tv was also including in STAR TV Platform. This channel was already available in Hong Kong in Now TV and in Indonesia via Indovision. This channel is currently available in Thaicom 5 satellite feed. The Problem is Why the Baby TV's article was pullout? What happend? If you want evidence that Baby TV is part of STAR TV Platform Here is their website Baby TV In Indonesia Baby TV In Hong Kong and here is their official Website of the said pre-school channel www.babytvchannel.com. Pls fixed this problem but not only in asia but also available for viewers in Europe and the US. Recently Baby TV was launched in Singapore via StarHub CableTV last February of this year according to StarHub CableTV website.

History Channel India still on-air over STAR TV

There is no truth at all that History Channel India left STAR TV. In fact the schedule of History Channel schedule was still line-up via STAR TV website. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.106.168.43 (talk) 06:40, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

STAR TV (Asia) → STAR (broadcaster) or Star (Broadcaster) — The company is now simply known as STAR. [1] However, I don't know which is proper. — JSH-alive ^{talk • cont • mail} 07:05, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.

• Weak oppose Best to leave it as it is since it is still referred to as Star TV. Star (Broadcaster) is a tad odd. Star (TV) would be ok as well. --Regent's Park (Boating Lake) 16:15, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

REQUEST FOR A CD/DVD OF YOUR PROGRAMME AT 2.30 PM, 6 PM AND 9 PM TODAY 07 JULY 2009

Sir,

You have telecast 3 programmes on Star News Channel at 2.30 PM, 6.00 PM and 9.00 PM on 07 July 2009 on the occasion of 25th anniversary of the first Indian Soap titled "Hum Log". My wife Joyoshree Arora is among the important caste of the serial. She acted as Bhagwanti, the mother of the children of the family. I wish to request you to confirm to me so that I can collect a copy of the CD/DVD covering the above mentioned programmes for our personal use and record. If desired I will be too happy to pay the cost of the same.

Thanks & Regards,

NK Arora —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.163.24.187 (talk) 14:09, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

This is Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia. We have no contact with STAR TV so we are unable to fulfill your request. You will have a much better chance contacting the channel directly via their website startv.com Astronaut (talk) 19:11, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

This is what the original Star TV became, actually.

The original News Corporation's 2009 restructure of Star was only acknowledged in 2011, but STAR TV (Asia) was incorrectly moved to STAR (Greater China), and now the article incorrectly renders Star China Media to be the successor of what was once the mighty pan-Asian satellite broadcaster, when actually Star (TV) became FIC Asia, and later FNG Asia.

For the sake of accuracy, I'll move this article to Fox Networks Group Asia Pacific (current legal name). Later, I'll create Star China Media as a new article. I'll also edit Wikidata entries accordingly. Star TV (Asian TV networks) will be redirected to this article. JSH-alive/^{talk/cont/mail} 16:16, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
