This week's media news (episode 10)

Welcome to this week's media news. The 13th General Election is in two weeks time.

Today during the start of Al-Kuliyyah on TV3 I saw a variation of TV3's on-screen top-right logo, not the main on-screen logo from TV3's idents and promos used as an another logo during certain occasions. The colour of the logo is more deeper and has slight graphic difference. This is how it looks like.

On the GE 13 matter, TV3's Buletin Utama and Nightline has also temporarily moved to the near-the-newsroom studio this week. Studio A has been reserved for the live coverage of the GE13. The picture below is the preview of how the graphics for TV3's GE 13 coverage look like, as appeared in a promo two weeks ago.

The list of TV stations' slogans for the upcoming GE 13 election has been updated with a follow-up blog. Click here.

TM's Hypp TV has won the Best Live TV Service or Solution at the 2013 TV Connect Industry Awards, so Hypp TV decided to make all its channels free-to-view from April 18 to 24. Hypp TV has also changed its interface design which is done in phases for three weeks.
