The station was officially launched on the 1st Muharram 1432H (7 December 2010) in a ceremony by the then Prime Minister, Najib Tun Razak. The event took place at the TV AlHijrah Digital Broadcasting Centre, Islamic Centre Complex, Kuala Lumpur.
TV AlHijrah broadcasts 24 hours everyday, and is watched globally for Muslim content, the latest news, political commentaries, educational material and Islamic-related entertainment.
