Great Thanx to Mediacorp!

I can't help but to feel like saluting to Mediacorp for the fact that it now arranged lousy tv programmes and withdraw all the nice taiwanese varieties in channel u and slotted in ever-so-boring ancient-setting epic drama and cannot make-it taiwanese drama at nite.....

so why salute? thanx dear, i've now lost interest in nite time programmes in BOTH ch 8 and U (yep, no longer yearning and longing and waiting by the tv for guess guess guess and many others), and this forces me to turn to the internet and sch work/research. My mum muz be happy! lesser excuses and causes for late nites. But sorry pa, electricity for the laptop and modem shall contimue to run.....


What abt all those promises made by the ceo or whoever like 1 mth back, regarding how mediacorp, even now that its da monopoly in the tv industry, will never compromise on the creativity of the programme contents and how it'll work hard on it?


Sometimes i do think if mediacorp is out to ruin ch U or probably the trust that it has built with Singaporeans (over many years of media monopoly). Well,i dun subscribe to scv, since most of the time, no one's at home to watch tv (so as to make every cent paid worthwhile). It seems like there are now lesser new prog launched in ch u and macham the new and best ones are all saved for ch 8...... ( any examples that opposes this view? pls convince me...) and can you believe the news with the same content (plus similar or almost similar footage, except for different newsreader..... and yah, with less experienced greenhorn newbies to read them in ch u) is telecast for 4 times within a short span of 4 hours? and give us more reasons that its to cater to the needs of working viewers.


I quote someone who told me this: maybe mediacorp is gonna ruin ch U so that eventually, the low ratings/viewership can pose as a reason to shut that channel u down (for whatever reasons) in the future....


its no surprise that many others are now subscribed to cable tv, i know why...... for my family, we've nvr had that idea before, never. but now, it seems like we've gotta consider again....


sianz!
