History

In August 2017, AC Mizal and Afdlin Shauki announced that they will launch a new TV station which originally known as Syiok TV, a joint venture between Syiok Media Network owned by AC Mizal and VisionWorks owned by Afdlin Shauki.[3][4][5][6] Syiok TV renamed as Awesome TV in August 2019. AC Mizal announced in February 2020 that he was no longer a part of Awesome TV.[7]

Awesome TV does not have any major news time slots either through itself or from other broadcast television channels from August 3, 2020 to January 31, 2022.

Starting February 1, 2022, Awesome TV broadcasts its own news, Berita 7:57, the same as Awani 7:45 on Astro Awani and Buletin Utama on TV3. The prime time news program was broadcast live from 33, Jalan Rakyat, Brickfields, 50470 Kuala Lumpur.[8]
