History

Plans to launch TV Alhijrah were revealed in June 2009, when the channel was still on the technical stage,[5][6] and expected to went on air by mid-2010.[7][8]

Days before its official launch, TV Alhijrah came up with a new rebranding image, in which is "more creative and fresh" and a new corporate slogan, "Segalanya Bermula di Sini" (Everything Begins Here).[9]

TV AlHijrah began its operations on 1 November 2010 on a trial basis.[10] It was a government initiative to establish a channel based on Islam and to provide an Islamic perspective through its programs.[11][12]

The station was officially launched on the 7st Muharram 1432H (7 December 2010) in a ceremony by the sixth Prime Minister, Najib Tun Razak.[13][14] The event took place at the TV AlHijrah Digital Broadcasting Centre, Islamic Centre Complex, Kuala Lumpur.[15][16]

In May 2011, TV Alhijrah entered partnership with Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM) to help reimagining the Islamic propagation.[17]

TV AlHijrah broadcasts 24 hours everyday, and is watched globally for Muslim content, the latest news, political commentaries, educational material and Islamic-related entertainment. Starting on 1 June 2011, the channel is avalaible on Astro platform.[18][19]
