OVERVIEW Media Prima Berhad (Media Prima), the leading integrated media investment group in Malaysia, was listed on the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia (the Malaysian Stock Exchange) on 22 October 2003. The Group has a diversified interest in a complete media platform from the broadcasting (tv and radio), online, outdoor advertising content creation, print media and event management. Media Prima’s origins date back to 1983 when shareholders of The New Straits Times Press (Malaysia) Berhad (NSTP) launched TV3, the nation’s first private TV network, in June 1984. TV3 subsequently went public in April 1988 and was placed together with NSTP under the holding of Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad (MRCB). These media assets were unbundled and established under a separate holding company, Media Prima, in September 2003. The year 2004 welcomed the incorporation of 8TV into Media Prima’s portfolio while the following year saw the acquisitions of two more TV networks, ntv7 and TV9, thus consolidating the Group’s leadership in the broadcast industry and bringing the total to four free-to-air TV networks in Malaysia. Media Prima’s TV Networks maintained its industry leadership position with the four television networks, TV3, ntv7, 8TV and TV9, collectively achieving a combined audience share of 50% in 2008. Furthermore, our television networks collectively garnered approximately 90% of the total FTA TV advertising spending in Malaysia. TV3 continues to be the station of choice for all
Malaysians, claiming an average of 32% share of viewers nationwide in 2008. TV9 which was only launched in May 2006 broke even only after 16 months of operations. The Group also currently owns three radio networks, Fly FM, Hot FM and its latest acquisition Radio Wanita Sdn. Bhd. which has been rebranded as One FM. Media Prima’s venture in the radio industry began with the acquisition of Perintis Layar Sdn. Bhd., the holding company of Max-Airplay Sdn. Bhd. (Max) on 29 April 2005. Since it began broadcasting in October 2005, Fly FM became a hit among its target listeners with its tagline, “It’s All About the Music”. Fly FM is currently ranked as the No. 2 English radio station for under 34 demographics and student categories in addition to leading the Higher Household Income (HHI) group. Synchrosound Studio Sdn. Bhd., the license owner of Hot FM was acquired by Media Prima on 30 December 2005. Hot FM is the fastest growing local Malay radio station, having captured 2.9 million listeners within eight weeks of its launch on 1 February 2006. Aimed at young urban Malay listeners with a tagline “Lebih Hangat Daripada Biasa” (Hotter than Usual), Hot FM is the number one overall radio station in Malaysia for average audience, number one in the under 34 demographics, and number one overall in major market centres combined with over 4.3 million listeners. The acquisition of 80% stake in Radio Wanita Sdn. Bhd. completed on 19 January 2009 added more strength and variety to Media Prima’s Radio Network. One FM, a Mandarin and Cantonese speaking radio station was the result of a transformation process of the previously operated Radio Wanita. Media Prima has also extended its wing into the new media realm with the launch of the online portal, gua.com.my on 11 September 2007. The online portal which name translates into ‘I’ or ‘cave’ in English, provides internet users with the latest scoop on happenings in the entertainment world, both local and international, and has achieved 1 million hits in its first month. Gua gained entry into the Malaysia Book of Records for the country’s first online drama series Kerana Karina which was produced in partnership with Grand Brilliance Sdn. Bhd. On its three-month anniversary, Gua placed itself as one of the country’s leading online entertainment portal. The web drama recorded an astounding 520,000 views since it first went online on 29 November 2007, surpassing the initial estimate of 10,000 views. By year end, ‘Gua’ received 12 million page views. The Group has also launched the country’s first third generation (3G) mobile television service under the new media project which serves as a channel for users to view programmes from television networks, TV3, ntv7, 8TV and TV9 on their 3G-enabled mobile devices at affordable rates. The incorporation of Catch-up TV, an online video on demand service that allows the audience to watch episodes on the TV networks’ online portals has been successful with over 41 million video views in December 2008. Other cross media interests of Media Prima include content creation (Primeworks Studios Sdn. Bhd.), outdoor advertising (Big Tree Outdoor Sdn. Bhd., UPD Sdn. Bhd. and The Right Channel Sdn. Bhd.) and events management (Big Events Sdn. Bhd.). Media Prima is a complete media platform that offers unparalleled and cost-efficient choice to advertisers who seek to target different market segments. Media Prima also has interests outside Malaysia and the 1997 venture in TV3 Ghana, which has since emerged as Ghana’s preferred free-to-air TV network, has proven to be a strategic expansion of its media assets. In 2008, Media Prima outlined its regional expansion plans with the proposed establishment of the MPB Strategic Media Fund Limited Partnership (“the Media Fund”), a private equity fund to be set up for the purpose of investing in media assets across South East Asia and other Asian emerging markets. The Media Fund will be Media Prima’s vehicle for its regional expansion plans in line with its strategy to grow and diversify the Group’s earnings and enhance shareholders value. As a potential seed asset for the Media Fund, MPB Primedia Inc. was established, entering into a block airtime and consultancy agreement with ABC Development Corporation (ABC), the owner and operator of the ABC5 network which operates its television network throughout the Philippines. ABC5 then undertook a comprehensive re-launch and repositioning of the television network which included a name change to TV5, a more powerful transmitter which extended the range of the station and a completely revamped content schedule to attract more viewers and advertising. The initial results have been impressive with TV5’s ratings increasing from 1% prior to launch to more than 7% in December 2008, making it the clear Number 3 television network in the Philippines. Media Prima also maintains a 43% equity interest in NSTP, one of Malaysia’s largest publishing groups that publishes leading newspaper titles including the New Straits Times, Berita Harian and Harian Metro. The Group has made significant inroads in the print media with Harian Metro being the country’s No.1 daily newspaper in Malaysia.
