MediaCorp's Chinese channels commended for variety & choices



The Advisory Committee on Chinese Programmes or ACCESS has commended Singapore's two free-to-air Chinese channels - 8 and U - for supporting the local media industry.

ACCESS said the two MediaCorp channels had outsourced more Chinese programmes to local production companies in the past two years. And this has led to an improvement in content and wider choices for viewers.

The committee, which released its report on Tuesday, urged free-to-air channels to continue to nurture the industry.

It also wanted Pay TV operators to step up efforts to protect children from mature content, as well as consider introducing more Chinese children's programmes.

Associate Professor Lee Cheuk Yin, chairman of the Advisory Committee on Chinese Programmes, said: "I think on the whole, we find that the radio and TV broadcasters ... have done a very good job, in the past two years, in providing, informing and entertaining listeners.

"In some areas, ... for example, programmes on education, programmes for the younger kids and programmes for senior citizens - we see some improvements in these areas."

Why they said free-to-air and yet we still have to pay $110 annually?

Ownself calling ownself good.. It is like mediacorp radio thanking singapore listeners for making them the number 1 radio broadcaster.... I feel sick everytime i hear the on radio... Then the CEO give themselves a payrise for making themselves the most well-received broadcaster.. Brilliant! That's why these local radio and tv awards are a waste of time and taxpayers' money.

Shameless dogs. Their so called last big hit was Little Nyonya. That says alot about the quality of Mediacoxk shows, or more appropriately the lack of it!

Sometimes.. the Ch U.. will say ... "Only in Ch U".. wtf... already in Ch U, definitely will not in CH 8 , right ??

If show in CH U and still show in CH 8 .. then is a big fucking problem liao.

They are creating their own fucking joke.
All belong to the same company, where got competition ?? so.. dont tell us.. Number One

I guess Mediacorp isn't aware that "Self praise, is no praise"

Why get steamed, just switch stations.
I recommend listening to the station xFM(96.30) has music with very little ads or propagands. BBC (88.90) is good for news. Also have many, many Malaysian stations with more music & no propaganda

hi there


1. coolman, besides your balls, there is no choice man!
2. such bootlicking compliments are just self-praising.

It is a pain to watch local production, sterotype production with same voices use over and over. The same faces appearing so often also.
Holiday movie was re-run of the last re-run, yawn. Only 'nice' program for me is the Noose; running similiar punchline like sammyboy...laughing at ourselves and our leaders. Ho Ho Ho.
