    Default New Channel U News

    what will be your comment?

    By the way, why mediacorp doesn't cooperate with SPH to produce some news features for Ch U news? otherwise what is the selling point of Ch U News in the future?

    I watched both the Channel 8 and Channel U news today... it was really quite duh, since they report exactly the same thing. What is the point? Channel U's news will not have any selling point. If they continue like this, people would just watch the Channel 8 news since its earlier. And Channel U's ratings will drop and drop and in the end Mediacrap will say something like this, "Due to poor ratings, we have no choice but to close down Channel U due to cost efficiency and yada yada yada...."

    Ugh...

    不好意思, 我习惯用头脑想, 屁股我另有用处.

    Since they say its a friendly 'merger', of course must put up a show for at least a few months for Singaporeans to see.

    Perhaps this is their way to 'provide more options'. In other words, if someone cannot watch the news at 10:00pm due to some reason or another, they would have the choice to watch it at 11:00pm. Tada! and

    This is just a guess, though, so my guess is as good as anybody's.

    the news on U no is just a recap of the stuff shown on 8 !!!!!!!!!! there is no clear distinction on how different r they!!! dun think it will be for long ...just look at channel 5 news..its playing second fiddler to channelnewsasia now..it just sucks..i think mediacorp mentality is tat if u already do it on one channel ...just "cut n paste" lah for the other one..saves both time n money...n keep ppl happy!! who r those ppl?? the ones who r promoted lor to read news n for viewers who have difficulties tuning in or keeping time with channelnewsasia time slots!


    well b4, u was doing news tabloid style ...its kinda different from 8 so sometimes u do get a kick out of seeing how they cover some news tats so tabloid!!! but at least it was interesting!! now? nothing to look forward to!!

    Sigh... typical Singaporean behaviour. Both of them. It's just like squabbling neighbours which air their dirty linen in public... broadcasting the conflict to the whole country.

    It has only been a few days but I already miss Zhang Haijie and Wang Yanqing's reporting. I have gotten so used to watching them report the news that a sudden switch to channel 8 news is quite a big turnoff.

    Yea, thumbs up for turning Mediacrap's offer down!!! Who need their 假仁假义的施舍?
    It is really quite horrible of Mediacrap to migrate their not-so-good news reader to Channel U.
    Ugh.

    Whom they want to promote, will succeed eventually. Even if they don't, they will still get lots of exposure.

    And what of those who doesn't get the same treatment? We just know too well.

    Really? Maybe they are trying to tell her: Look, we got another you. Who cares if you are back with us or not.
