Founded in 1978, the Karangkraf Media Group is the largest privately-held, family-run publishing group in Malaysia and one of the country's biggest. Its Sinar Harian daily publishes four regional editions and has a circulation of 100,000. Two other business groups in printing and Malay-language magazines/books generate the bulk of revenue. Its latest venture is a JV with Malaysian pay TV operator Astro to extend and produce content around 15 magazine titles for broadcast, to maximise monetisation potential from licensing, Adex, subscriptions and commerce. Astro has 21 million viewers across 70 percent of Malaysian households while Karangkraf has 15 million readers across its print, magazine publications and online media assets.
