TV on-air presentation udpate #3

What happened last week in the world of TV on-air presentation in Malaysia?

TV1's Semasa news updates has got a new look for the new year. I've spotted the new look on 10.1.2014. My brother Hafiz who had listened to the Semasa news updates' music theme said that the music theme is still the same but with one pitch forward than normal pitch. The Semasa news updates' music is taken from RTM radios' former news updates music theme. Here's a snapshot of how TV1 Semasa virtual studio set looks like.

My brother Hafiz also spotted in my recording of the 50 Tahun TV Malaysia documentary on TV1 via livesreaming that the 1 Malaysia logo on the left side of TV1 (and TV2)'s time banner which had a new look after a by-election in November 2013 has a 2D logo turn animation instead of the 3D logo turn animation in the previous time banner look.

I have confirmed that NTV7's Bella still airs as usual after Bella Weekend stopped airing since January 2014, but now I saw Bella also airing on Fridays beside on Monday to Thursday.

Here's another shot of TV3's Nightline new virtual studio set taken on 11.1.2014. I've mentioned about Nightine's new virtual studio set in my previous post.

Speaking about Maulidur Rasul, TV Alhijrah has a new Maulidur Rasul branding for 1435H. It is a stylised version of writing Muhammad in Arabic script. Meanwhile TV1's branding look a bit dull; in fact the animation was made in 16:9 aspect ratio and then rescaled back to 14:9 letterbox (TV1 did the same for its Aidiladha branding in late 2013 for the first time). And TV9 reuses its previous Maulidur Rasul branding; in fact it also air the old generic promo which was aired a few years ago in the early 2010s.

Speaking about TV9's slight changes to its on-air presentation,  I've spotted Raudah Lin Nisa' ident on 11.1.2014.

Discovery Channel now has its own programme name banner which has been used since the start of the new year It is located just near the edge part of the top black bar of 16:9 letterbox. It also has a next banner which appears in the last part of any programme.

TV3's Soal Jawab has a new look for the new year. Johan Jaafar via Twitter sent a picture of Soal Jawab's new studio set along with its presenters.
