Broadcasting in Singapore began in 1936 when Radio Singapura was established as the first local mass market radio service. Subsequently in February 1963, before the retreat of the British Armed Forces, and after the merger with Malaya, Singapore launched her first television service, under the Radio & Television of Singapore (RTS). ==History== ===Radio=== ====Radio Singapura (1936–1963)==== Radio Singapura, the first local radio service launched in 1937, marked the beginning of a highly successful venture in broadcasting media. The radio service shut down temporarily due to the World War 2 efforts, and radio frequencies were tightly controlled. The service resumed and flourished as Singapore gained gradual autonomy from the United Kingdom after the war. Radio Singapura subsequently became part of RTS, which in turn became part of the Singapore Broadcasting Corporation (SBC). After SBC was fully privatised, it became the Radio Corporation of Singapore (RCS). ====Rediffusion Singapore==== With the success of Radio Singapura, another key player in the broadcasting industry in the pre-independence Singapore, Rediffusion, introduced cable broadcasting service to Singapore in 1949. Rediffusion Singapore brought radio to housing areas which lacked decent radio reception, with unrivalled sound quality compared to the conventional radio technologies at that time. ====SAFRA Radio and UnionWorks==== The SAFRA Radio is managed by the SAFRA National Service Association, a non-profit organisation that is dedicated to the welfare of National Servicemen (colloquially called "NSmen"). SAFRA Radio runs two stations, Power 98 FM and Dongli 88.3FM, broadcasting in English and Mandarin Chinese respectively. The stations carters to national and professional servicemen, and both radio stations are entertainment-based, featuring modern commerical music and the latest entertainment news. UnionWorks is a joint radio broadcasting entity of SPH MediaWorks and NTUC Media, created in October 2001, relinquishing NTUC Media’s full ownership of 2 local radio stations, Heart 100.3FM and 91.3FM The Most Music. Heart 100.3FM was re-branded into UFM 1003, which had a striking similarity with SPH MediaWorks’s Mandarin Chinese television free-to-air terrestrial channel, Channel U. 91.3FM The Most Music was re-branded as 'WKRZ 91.3', with considerable resemblance to the TV Works channel. The letter " Z" in the name of WKRZ 91.3 is pronounced in the American English style, instead of the Commonwealth English style of "zède". The name of the station is pronounced as " W", " K", " R", " Z" individually to create an " Americanised" illusion, mimicking the naming conventions of radio stations in the United States. ===Television=== ====Company names==== Only 2 television broadcasting companies have ever been created in Singapore as of 2005: SPH Mediaworks and the present MediaCorp TV. The former eventually merged with the latter in 2004. Radio & Television of Singapore (RTS), Singapore Broadcasting Corporation (SBC) and Television Corporation of Singapore (TCS), were the predecessors of the Media Corporation of Singapore (MediaCorp Group), with each name change signifying a period of privatisation and liberalisation. MediaCorp is the direct successor of the SIM Group of Companies - the parent company of TCS and RCS, which in 2001 were renamed MediaCorp TV and MediaCorp Radio respectively. Several free-to-air terrestrial television channels are managed by companies that are directly affiliated with SBC, TCS or MediaCorp TV. ====Radio & Television of Singapore (1963–1980)==== The television service began with a 1.5 hour monochrome service launched on Channel 5, under close regulation by a department within the government's Ministry of Culture, in February 1963. Formal inauguration of regular television broadcast took place in April 1963, with four hours of English programmes daily. Channel 8, the second television channel, was introduced in November the same year to broadcast programmes in Tamil and predominantly in Chinese. Both Channels 5 and 8 are still in transmission today. ====Colour Transmission==== The first colour television signal was transmitted in 1974, the first colour programmes being the Mary Tyler Moore Show and Black Beauty. Subsequently, the first live colour telecast of the company, the World Cup Football Final between West Germany and The Netherlands via satellite transmission took place in the same year. ==== Singapore Broadcasting Corporation (1980–1994)==== With the passing of an Act of Parliament and after much public effort, RTS was partially privatised and given autonomy and flexibility in its lineup of programmes and handling issues such as personnel, finance and production. The Radio & Television of Singapore becomes the Singapore Broadcasting Corporation, or by the corporate abbreviation SBC in 1980. ...more on Wikipedia about "Broadcasting in Singapore"
