This week's media news (episode 12)

Welcome to this week's media news. We've come to the month of May.

When I checked TV9 on May 2, I found out that TV9 has fully stopped using the old "now, next" information. The last time they use was only during children's programmes. It now fully uses the generic rollercoaster design same as the other programmes not part of the regular TV9 programme block. (Updated 5/5/2013)

I've found an RTM website which is related to its TV library. RTM has stored an online catalogue of its in-house programmes in a website called Pusat Sumber Penyiaran Jabatan Penyiaran Malaysia (Broadcasting Resource Centre of the Department of Broadcasting Malaysia). This is where you can find a list of in-house programmes that has been aired on RTM and also some old ones. This website uses the WebOPAC searching system. The website is http://psp.rtm.gov.my

You might remember that I had reported about RTM's online rolling news channel 1News last month. Also around the RTM website, I've found a news article from Utusan Malaysia about the launch of 1News at Taylor's University in Subang Jaya on April 18. The Secretary-General of Broadcasting Datuk Seri Kamaruddin Siaraf says 1News is a new source to send information to the people through the internet. The launch of the channel (known as portal) enables RTM to be relevant to the current events and also attract the young people. For the first phase of the channel, it will broadcast from 9:00 am to 10:00 pm with its content repeated every four hours. It also airs 5-minute news summaries and the unedited recording of press conferences. 1News will be in full operation this August. The introduction of the channel will enable RTM to launch a full-HD news channel in 2015.
