Before launching Astro Warna, all local comedy programs were shown on either Astro Ria or Astro Prima. After launching Astro Warna, almost all local comedy programs shown on their existing Malay channels moved to Astro Warna, although some programs such as Raja Lawak Astro continued to be shown on Astro Prima for its fourth and fifth season, before moving to Astro Warna in its sixth season.

Astro Warna HD is the simulcast HD version of Astro Warna. It was launched on 5 March 2018 for all Astro customers that subscribed to HD service with Mustika Pack on channel 124. Previously, their programs on HD were shown on Astro Mustika HD, leaving the latter to focus on their other two channels.[2] Astro Mustika HD has rebranded to Astro Citra HD on 1 October 2018, but, they moved to channel 126 in this situation.
