Gov = RTM, Bernama, Al-Hijrah
Private: Media Prima
Public: none

Since its Islamic based channel..
Won't be so soon we get to say goodbye 😬😬

Al-Hijrah is under government ? I thought is Qatar ?

that is Al-jazeera

Al Hijrah and Al Jazeera is a two different thing.
Don't get confuse because of the "Al" in front...

ain't have time for those craps offering..

stream all the way with No censorships

Haha not only censorship, it's brainwashing too

Anyone know since when 8TV starts to air Thailand drama?? Earlier it airs Thai drama, called "You are my Destiny".... It's in Mandarin audio dub and Malay subtitles.

If I'm not mistaken, it started airing Thailand drama this May.

Media Prima lack of funds huh??

Cannot afford content from HK, Taiwan.. Now take from Thailand & dub into Mandarin since its cheaper 😴😴

It's not that they can't afford North East Asian content...
They can afford for it, but it will be a few years old content or many months old (usually at least 6 months old) content, after their respective country's TV broadcast premiere.
I guess is Media Prima trying to offer some new type of content to viewers, so that's how they chose to air some Thai dramas with Mandarin audio dub on 8TV.

Do you think Media Prima is wise in trying to provide something new to Malaysians, which is Thai dramas?

I think they are promoting ASEAN cultures

Well if u see in astro too.. The content is few months old or already ceased in the original country broadcast...

I'm guessing the reason of broadcasting Thai dramas is because of Regional JV agreement.. Malaysia content in Thailand & others ASEAN countries.. Theirs in ours country.. Win win situation 😊

When you look at 8tv, the Korea dramas they are showing are relatively new for a free to air company

Thai Dramas on 8TV? Already been there for a few months.
However, some HK TVB dramas are still shown on 4:3 format even at this point (Only for dramas aired on NTV7, those aired on 8TV already make the switch to 16:9) (for those broadcasted in HK on 2015) although Media Prima has switched to 16:9 ratio in August 2017, which is quite weird.
In addition, they did not upgrade their presentation (like ident, parental guidence notification, sometimes even promos) and some own produced live programmes into 16:9/HD. NTV7 news also does not switch to 16:9. Plus, some SD picture quality content shows like a crap ever since they crap their picture into unwatchable 144p/240p and then recovered to normal quality last few months.

Just noticed that 8TV now put title beside the logo like what TV3 and TV9 did since Thursday.

At least some improvement..
Got title beside logo.. So we know what show / program going on TV 😀
