TV3 azan broadcast history (up until July 2013)

(I started making this three weeks ago)

This is the history of TV3 airing the azan (Muslim call of prayers).

Although TV3 had substituted the azan broadcast with a hadith quote or a text announcement during live programmes for a long time in the 1990s until December 2012 (with the airing of azan during the Zohor and Asar prayer times), TV3 began airing azan with Azan Subuh and Azan Maghrib in either 2000 or 2001. TV3's azan broadcast is only aired when is already prayer time in Kuala Lumpur, following suit with TV1, TV9, TV Alhijrah, Astro Oasis and radio stations based or near the Kuala Lumpur prayer time. Sometimes TV3 does not air the azan especially during Zohor prayer time especially when the prayer time reaches close to Buletin 1:30 time or live programming such as Melodi. TV3 does not air Azan Isyak and airs a text announcement instead.

The following is TV3's azan broadcast history in detail using chronology, compiled by myself from my experience.

2000 or 2001 - Azan Subuh and Azan Maghrib (with footage from Jejak Rasul; Azan Subuh has prayer time announcement by Ahmad Noor Sulaiman at the start)
2011 - New version of Azan Maghrib with different bilal (with new footage from Jejak Rasul)
December 2012 - Azan Zohor and Asar using one of TV9's azan footage which is pictures of beautiful mosques of the world; local bilal (same as TV9's)


since 5.6.2013 (according to Youtube user Muhammad Aminuddin Zulkifli which is "sejak malam Israk Mikraj") - New version of Azan Subuh, Zohor, Asar and Maghrib with new bilal and new footages from Jejak Rasul

This one is Azan Maghrib



 And this one is Azan Asar
