    Default Ch U News and Ch 8 News after 1/1

    I just wonder why there is such a strange arrangement. Though presentation will not be the same, but I am sure the video will be similar as they both share Mediacorp News' footage. Some guessed that Ch U will be a quasi-CNA, but then why don't move Good Morning Singapore and Midday News from Ch 8 to Ch U from 1/1, and add some more new newscast after all the SPH programmes have been broadcast in April?

    No one knokws what Mediacock is up to. Judging from the way they launched a gaming 3 hr event against a Renci Charity show some years ago.

    I think they will do all make the channel so lousy and then make an excuse to terminate transmission. So we will be back to one channel.

    But I guess they won't, as they are monopoly again. They can earn monopoly rent. But they will specialize Ch U to give room to CH 8....like what happened to Ch 5 after CNA was launched... just don't know why start the 1st step on 1/1 and let others wait? At least producing two more newscasts are wasting $$

    Have no idea what mediacrap is up to. I don't wish Channel U to be transformed into a current affairs channel! I want it to remain its live and hyper "personality", on the other hand, I feel channel 8 is more suitable to a chinese CNA channel.

    Hai...what's going to happen to the hosts within this 3 months then? Better not be letting them to be in another charity show performance! mediacrap is full of charity shows whole year... Somehow I don't feel having Channel U News is necessary in 2005...since channel 8 already has it.

    Remember to catch the "last" news specially presented by Hai Jie and Yan Qing together this Friday (31/12/04) at 10pm on Channel U!
    Also, there's a programme you can't miss on the same day, at 9pm!
