Viewers are able to watch the cartoons on Astro Ceria in two languages; in Malay, which is the default language for all the shows on Astro Ceria or in the original language the programme was broadcasted in. Subtitles are not available on Astro Ceria at the moment.
Astro Ceria has organised several activities for children of all ages to increase its popularity among other television networks. Once, Astro Ceria's Run for Fun marathon was held between the month of February and April.
