List of assets owned by Media Prima

Media Prima Content & TV Networks

Media Prima owns and operates five free-to-air television channels, each of them functioning under their own branding and subsidiaries. TV3 and NTV7 were established long before Media Prima exist, while others, 8TV and TV9 were formed through the group's acquisition of defunct television companies.

Wow Shop is the group's teleshopping network. It was established on 22 February 2016 as CJ Wow Shop, a joint venture with Korean conglomerate CJ Group's subsidiary, CJ E&M. The teleshopping network became a fully owned subsidiary after the group bought CJ's remaining 49% stake.[2][3] Apart from TV3, NTV7, 8TV, TV9 and Malaysia's No.1 edutainment channel, DidikTV KPM, Wow Shop is also available in two purpose-built channels on my Freeview.[4] Tonton (formerly gua.com.my and later Catch Up TV) is the group's Over-the-top media service (OTT) which covers viewers across multiple devices such as computers, tablets, smartphones.[5]
