Aora TV is an Indonesian direct broadcast satellite pay television company that is operated by PT Karya Megah Adijaya and is owned by Rini M. Soemarno and Ongki P. Soemarno. It started its nation-wide broadcast in the beginning of August 2008 with an initial 10 channels, highlighting the 2008 Summer Olympics. Four of the channels were dedicated to bringing the Olympic games and events to its customers' homes. Aora earned the exclusive broadcasting rights to the 2008 Olympics exclusively for Indonesia.
Still in August 2008, Aora TV won the sole rights in Indonesia to broadcast the 2008/2009 season of the Barclays Premier League and offered a new, 12-channel package service which included ESPN and STAR Sports, which contains the Premier League content. This allows Aora subscribers to watch, in full, the 370 Premier League matches of the 2008/2009 season, including preview shows and weekly highlights. The Premier League broadcast rights were then expired just few hours before the start of the 2009/2010 season, that forced Aora to replace both channels with Goal TV 1 and Goal TV 2 effective on August 15, 2009. At the same time, Aora also added several new channels into its channels lineup.
