| '''MediaCorp Channel U''' or '''Channel U''' (U頻道; ]: U Píndào) is ]'s second ] ] ] in Singapore. It is the second of two Chinese ] ] in Singapore with the other being ]. | |||
| It was created by ] on 6 May 2001 as an alternative Chinese channel to ]. After ] and ] merged on 1 January 2005, it now serves as a complementary to MediaCorp TV Channel 8. | |||
| ==Programming== | |||
| When operated by the incumbent broadcaster SPH MediaWorks (a subsidiary of Singapore Press Holdings) during its 1st 4-years, Channel U had a similar programming as MediaCorp TV Channel 8 with the foundation set up by staff transferred over to SPH MediaWorks from ] such as Bryan Wong and Kim Ng. Due to lack of facilities and expertise, broadcaster SPH MediaWorks could only produced a limited number of local productions. Nonetheless, the channel quickly grew its popularity and viewership over the years, through efforts like airing ] and ] prime time television dramas and variety shows, by being the 1st channel to air television programmes from ] and also producing the local productions with good quality. These efforts paid off eventually as by its 3d year, Channel U had garnered more viewership than MediaCorp Channel 8. | |||
| However, this did not translate into profits for broadcaster SPH MediaWorks. Mounting losses from fierce competition and a small free-to-air ] demand caused the television business to be viewed as unsustainable. Thus, as "a rationalisation move to stem losses and enhance shareholder value.",<ref></ref> SPH MediaWorks was made to merge with MediaCorp with effect of 1 January 2005 and Channel U was operated by MediaCorp ever since. Upon merger with MediaCorp on 1 January 2005, Singapore aged 15–45 became Channel U's target audience and broadcasting hours was changed to begin at 15:00 ] on weekday and 10:00 SST on weekend. Channel U continued to air the Ren Ci charity shows (as it did previously when under SPH MediaWorks) and started to run ] a singing competition for teenagers. There are more locally-produced programmes on the channel, which included a revamp of the news bulletins, and the introduction of new current events and variety programmes. | |||
| Between 1 January 2005 and 14 August 2012, it exclusively aired ], 23 hours after Taiwan's ]'s original broadcast, from Sundays to Thursdays, at 5pm and again before transmission ends. In 2010, there is a major programming refresh of Channel U during prime-time hours ever since post-merger. Channel U started having non-stop entertainment programmes on weekdays between 8:00 pm and 10:00 pm with the best of acquired programmes from the region and quality local productions. Its weekend news bulletin ''News Club'', which aired at 7pm, was replaced by current affairs programmes ''Money Week'' and ''World This Week'', which were previously aired on ]. | |||
| ==Slogan and mottos== | |||
| *'''以優為先''' ('''Putting Excellence First''', 6 May 2001-31 December 2004. This slogan is a play on the channel name, as the Chinese word 優 sounds like the letter U.) | |||
| *'''帶動亞洲流行''' ('''Leading Asia's Trends''', 1 January 2005-30 November 2008) | |||
| *'''最精彩''' ('''The Most Exciting''', 1 December 2008-now, complements ]'s longtime former slogan, 最親切 (The Most Endearing)) | |||
| ==Transmission times== | |||
| Channel U was started transmission by the Campus SuperStar is played. | |||
| Before/After Channel U goes on/off air by the ] is played.<ref></ref> | |||
| During 'no transmission' periods, there would be continuous non-scheduled repeated-reruns of two random past Channel U local productions and the preview of latest programmes, all the way till the ] ] starts. This is different from other non ] channels, that would have test cards instead during the 'no transmission' periods. | |||
| ===Weekday=== | |||
| Channel U is on air from 15:00 until 03:00 ] in daily with no transmission from around 03:00 until 07:00 Singapore Standard Time. | |||
| ===Weekend=== | |||
| Channel U is on air from 10:00 until 03:00 Singapore Standard Time in daily with no transmission from 03:30 until 07:00 Singapore Standard Time on Saturday and from 02:30 until 06:00 Singapore Standard Time on Sunday. | |||
| At other times when programmes are not transmitted, still image of Channel U logo and today guide television broadcast listings schedule will be displayed with the background sound of ] on ] 88.0-]. | |||
| ===Opening and Closing times=== | |||
| ====Startup==== | |||
| Channel U was starts up with national anthem played, ] and first television programme. | |||
| ====Closedown==== | |||
| Channel U was closes down with last television programme, [station ident and finally the national anthem was broadcasts the end. | |||
| ===Trailer/Promo=== | |||
| Every day before Channel U goes on air with television programme in promo and trailer from 07:00 until 12:00 Singapore Standard Time on weekday. | |||
| ===Home Shopping=== | |||
| Every day before Channel U goes on air, there is a home shopping television programme from 12:00 until 15:00 Singapore Standard Time on weekday and from 07:00 until 10:00 Singapore Standard Time on weekend. | |||
| ==Artists== | |||
| Channel U shares artists with Mediacorp TV Channel 8. For example, Jeanette Aw is the lead artist for Channel U's Jump! (2012) and Channel 8's Beyond (2012). | |||
| Also, since March 2010, Channel U airs the encore version of MediaCorp Channel 8's "News Tonight" an hour after original broadcast on MediaCorp Channel 8 on daily night at 23:00 Singapore Standard Time. | |||
| This is probably due to lack of manpower and short of entertainment programming during prime-time. | |||
