According to Media Prima's Q5 quarterly report released on 24 May 2023, (Media Prima has changed their fiscal ending month from December to March), there are interesting things about TV ratings and share. (Source : Nielsen Audience Measurement)

TV3 remains undisputably as the leader, with an overall audience share of 26.3%. The overall Malay audience share for TV3 is 35.9% meanwhile for Malay homes with Astro, the share is 32.9%.

8TV records 11% overall audience share, which made it the second most watched TV channel in recent years. This is an record for this channel, an share that isn't recorded since the channel's creation in 2004. 8TV's status as the sole FTA Chinese channel in the country helps - as it recorded a massive 53.3% share among Chinese viewers.
Although there is a lack of local content on 8TV (which is necessary to promote local talent), they did achieve such ratings with a schedule which primarily consists of foreign content from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Korea. This is probably the reason why Media Prima choose to produce less Chinese local content for 8TV, as it could save money by doing so.

TV9's focus of moving from a schedule which mainly consists of WOW SHOP to a schedule which mainly consists of movies, children content, drama repeats, and Islamic programmes, helps the channel to achieve 4.6% audience share. Viewers are indeed coming back to this channel with their current lineup but this doesn't change the damage that has been done by Media Prima when they introduced WOW SHOP, which some still have the perception of FTA TV as a place on selling things such as pots.

On Media Prima's competitors, Awesome TV is the third most watched channel after TV3 and 8TV. This is despite the controversy such as biased, untrue news reports on their main news bulletin, Berita 7:57 and the channel is operating under the wrong license.

RTM TV1 and TV2 has 3.1% and 3.4% audience share respectively. This is despite RTM has tried hard on improving their lineup in recent years.

On pay TV side, Astro Ceria is the most watched pay TV channel with 5.5% audience share. It is also the forth most watched TV channel in the country overall The neglection of children content on FTA TV in recent years (in favour to WOW SHOP) has resulted the ratings for the kids segment being handed to Astro Ceria for free from the FTA channels.

Wasting time & it's additional cost...

Better use existing Channel & slot some Indian contents....  win-win solution 👌

My idea: Make a new Tamil FTA HD channel which is based on TV3's former programming block called Rangoli, Rangoli (by TV3). Please reply, how 'bout dah? (How about that?)

If they really want...

Those slots can be "upgraded" A grade contents

But need Madani Gomen subsidies to make it happen 😂

Awesome TV become dumping ground for Media Prima contents especially from TV3 😁

currently

First impression: Day 1 of TV5 broadcast on terrestrial digital TV
- "SIARAN PERCUBAAN" (meaning TEST BROADCAST) watermark is shown at the top corner of the screen
- Seems like they're showing some Chinese and English movies now
- And it is commercial-free 
- And... very "original" I meant by "original" is:

    

    

Conservative people / communities be like:

Thank you TV5 for being brave. Probably the first one to do so, but won't be the last
And, by the looks of the hardcoded Chinese and English subtitles, it seems to me that the movie copy source are from those pirated movie websites from China 
But it's a test run la...

Right after this movie ends, it shows a short channel ident. And then another movie starts right away... No commercials...

This time, with hardcoded Malay and Chinese subtitles.
As you can see, subtitle font and font size is different and inconsistent across different programmes. Subtitles are shown within the anamorphic aspect ratio of the content.

Another thing I notice is, the video motion appears pretty jerky/lag/not smooth.
Although the channel video itself is 50i (according to MediaInfo), I suspect is TV5's end where some of their playout/canvas settings are not set as 50fps (probably mistakenly set to 60fps), which causes the viewer to see unsmooth motion, even on their channel ident.

Anyway, it's good to see that we have a new TV channel on digital TV platform after a loooong wait. 

Also don't have the usual classification by LPF. Although I assume it usually its new channel, probably give it a day or two.

Yeah.... but enjoy tv5 might be back in the future

Taiwan company and Chinese focused TV channel. Kinda weird to be adding Indian movie. But, TV6 could honestly add more Indian content to be honest. Especially those old RTM produced Indian contents from years back that they still have.

Goodbye again, Ch 112.

No comments on that part...

What I know

Their reporting style is like the old days TV3...

Probably because many current staffs & people behind the Awesome TV is from there???

No wonder...
All those old content from TV3 are rebroadcast in Awesome TV platform.... Especially the dramas & shows....
