Galaxy (a trading name of Australis Media Limited) is a former provider of pay television programming in Australia via satellite and wireless cable (microwave) delivery methods. Galaxy was first introduced or made public in 1993, but was not available to every capital city until January 1, 1995 with eight channels via microwave, making it the first provider of pay-TV services in the country. Digital satellite broadcasts began in September 1995. Australis Media held an exclusive license to broadcast pay-TV in Australia via satellite until 1997. Their main competitors were Foxtel and Optus Vision, both of which operated separate cable networks. The Galaxy channel package was franchised to Austar in regional areas. At its peak, there were around 120,000 Galaxy subscribers. The service ceased shortly after Australis Media went into liquidation on 18 May 1998.
