The five finalists are:

• SKY News National
• showcase
• FOX Footy

“There’s always vigorous competition for this award amongst the many parent companies which broadcast more than 200 channels on Australian subscription television,” said ASTRA CEO, Andrew maiden.

“2014’s Channel of the Year finalists again hail from subscription television’s most popular genres – sport, news and lifestyle – and it’ll be interesting to see who brings it home, especially after last year’s FOX FOOTY win and the amazing achievements of the five channel finalists,” he added.

The 12th ASTRA Awards ceremony will be held on Thursday, March 20 at Sydney’s Carriageworks, Eveleigh.

  1. Showcase is my favourite channel with absolutely no competition!
    No watermarks, no embedded ads, and excellent programs.
    I don’t ever look at those other channels listed.
    FX also has excellent programs, but drives you crazy with too many breaks with ads and endless repetitive promos. Now they also add extra rubbish to their watermark and have small promos in the corner of the screen. Dreadful.
