i rmb back in the days, there were more English speaking shows.
hosts like Henry Golding, Marion Caunter, Ashraf Sinclair, Razif Hashim's food show, Zher, Belinda Chee were awesome... why no more of this?

now all cina speaking and cj wowshop screaming left and right. what happened?

from last time it was like that. Just last time it has shows like house and some good american series. I think because most of their viewers upgraded to astro so they only left the chinese viewers that refused to pay for astro.

jadi ashes

like ntv7 and tv9

tv9 at least they still rerun drama and telemovie

decrease in viewership -> lesser production cost to run

cjwowshop easy to maintain revenue

it shocked me when i realised cjwowshop run and re-run on most of the showtime esp on weekdays.
