Austar shareholders have voted strongly in favour of Foxtel's 1.52 Australian dollars-a-share offer.

Austar's board told shareholders at the company's annual general meeting Friday that it expected a decision on whether Australia's competition watchdog would approve the merger by April 13.

If the merger was given its long-awaited clearance, shareholders will be paid for the cash offer by April 26, the board confirmed.
