The channel ceased broadcasting on 1 April 2014, but Astro channel 304 remained on air to broadcast selected programming before its new channel, Kah Lai Toi began its broadcasting a month later.
70% of the content is from Guangdong Television (GDTV) in China and Hong Kong, while the remaining is sourced from Cosmos Discovery Sdn Bhd, a local production company.
