Asianet STAR Communications, formerly Asianet Communications, is an Indian media company wholly owned by STAR India.[1][2] Asianet STAR Communications operates Malayalam channels Asianet Plus, Asianet Middle East, and Asianet Movies[3][4], Kannada channels Star Suvarna and Star Suvarna Plus and Tamil channels Star Vijay and Star Vijay Super.[5]
Malayalam and Kannada news channels, Asianet News (formerly Asianet Global) and Suvarna News (formerly Asianet Suvarna), are wholly owned by Asianet News Network (ANN), a subsidiary of Jupiter Capital. Both Asianet News Network channels and STAR India channels use the brand-name and the "Asianet" logo.[6]
Asianet Communications was the first entertainment television company in Malayalam.[7] STAR India started discussions with the then owners of the Asianet in August, 2008.[8] STAR India eventually bought a 51% stake in Asianet Communications and formed joint venture with JEV in November, 2008.[9] The joint venture, called "STAR Jupiter", comprised all general entertainment channels of Asianet Communications (Asianet, Asianet Plus, Asianet Suvarna and Asianet Sitara[10]) and Star Vijay. Star India had reportedly paid $235 million in cash for the 51% stake and assumed net debt of approximately $20 million.[11][12]
STAR India increased its stake in Asianet Communications to 75% in July 2010 (for which STAR India paid around $90 million in cash), and to 87%, by acquiring 12% stake for $160 million in June, 2013. The later move was by virtue of acquiring a 19% equity stake in Vijay TV from Rajeev Chandrasekhar and Asianet Communications MD Madhavan. Following the June, 2013 investment, Asianet Communications was valued at $1.33 billion. STAR India acquired 100% stake in Asianet Communications (buying the remaining 13% stake) in March, 2014.[13][14]
Upon Disney acquiring Fox, Asianet Digital Network, along with all of Star India's subsidiaries, became subsidiaries of The Walt Disney Company, and restructuring put them under Disney India.
