Aora was an Indonesian direct broadcast satellite pay television company that is operated by Karyamegah Adijaya and owned by Rini Soemarno , Ongki P. Soemarno, and Sugiono Wiyono. It started its nationwide broadcast in the beginning of August 2008 with an initial ten channels, highlighting the 2008 Summer Olympics . Four of the channels were dedicated to Olympic coverage. Aora earned the exclusive broadcasting rights to the 2008 Olympics exclusively for Indonesia. ^[1]

In August 2008, Aora TV won the sole rights in Indonesia to broadcast the 2008–09 season of the 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, 370 Premier League matches of the 2008/09 season, including preview shows and weekly highlights. ^[2] The Premier League broadcast rights expired just hours before the start of the 2009/2010 season, leading Aora to replace both channels with GOALTV , effective on August 15, 2009. The loss of Premier League programming led to subscribers to drop the service; as a result, the service was shut down at the end of 2009. ^[3]

In January 2011, Aora was relaunched as a budget pay TV service, with rates at Rp.59,000 (around $7) per month. ^[4]

On March 23, 2015, Aora's subscribers were notified via an email that the service would cease operations on pretext of satellite realignment. That same day, their Facebook page sent out a farewell message. In the weeks leading to the shutdown, subscribers reportedly had problems contacting Aora's customer services while the company gradually began losing channels.
