  • KAEDAH PEROLEHAN RANCANGAN TELEVISYEN DI RTM: ISU DAN CABARAN SYARIKAT PRODUKSI TEMPATAN Arizah Jamil, Zairul Anuar Md. Dawam &A
    KAEDAH PEROLEHAN RANCANGAN TELEVISYEN DI RTM: ISU DAN CABARAN SYARIKAT PRODUKSI TEMPATAN Arizah Jamil, Zairul Anuar Md. Dawam & Mohd Nor Shahizan bin Ali ABSTRAK Sejak tahun 1984, Radio dan Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) melalui Unit Perolehan Rancangan telah menetapkan beberapa syarat dan kaedah kepada pembekal-pembekal rancangan atau syarikat produksi yang ingin memasarkan dan menjual rancangan televisyen mereka di RTM 1 (TV1), RTM 2 (TV2) dan TVi. Kaedah perolehan rancangan televisyen bermula dengan sistem agihan jam, sistem tender terbuka, sistem konsortium, sistem tender terhad dan yang terkini adalah mengikut sistem pitching. Namun begitu, setiap kaedah perolehan tersebut telah menimbulkan beberapa isu seperti isu monopoli, isu pengagihan slot jam yang tidak jelas, kewujudan syarikat yang menjual slot jam yang diperoleh kepada syarikat lain (Ali baba), isu pengelasan syarikat dan isu penilaian ketika proses pembentangan dilakukan. Malah, isu-isu yang berlaku ketika pelaksanaan tersebut menyebabkan perubahan sistem pengurusan dalam kaedah perolehan yang dilakukan oleh RTM. Isu-isu ini telah memberikan cabaran kepada pihak penerbit atau syarikat produksi dalam usaha untuk memasar dan menjual produk atau rancangan televisyen mereka ke RTM. Justeru, artikel ini membincangkan lima jenis sistem pengurusan dalam kaedah perolehan rancangan yang pernah dilaksanakan oleh pihak RTM dan seterusnya isu dan cabaran yang dihadapi oleh syarikat produksi tempatan dalam setiap pelaksanaan kaedah perolehan tersebut. Artikel ini diharap dapat membantu para penerbit memahami kaedah perolehan rancangan televisyen yang dilakukan oleh RTM, sekali gus membantu mereka memperoleh slot televisyen yang ditawarkan. Kata kunci: RTM, kaedah perolehan rancangan televisyen, penerbit tempatan, slot televisyen. Gendang Alam, Jilid 6, 2016 ABSTRACT Since 1984, RTM through the Procurement Unit Plan has set a number of conditions and methods to the suppliers design or production companies who want to market and sell their television program on TV1, TV2 and TVi.

  • The Survival of Malaysia's National Television Within a Changing
    The Innovation Journal: The Public Sector Innovation Journal, Vol. 16(3), 2011, article 2. The Survival of Malaysia’s National Television Within a Changing Mediascape Fuziah Kartini Hassan Basri Abdul Latiff Ahmad Emma Mirza Wati Mohamad Arina Anis Azlan Hasrul Hashim School of Media and Communication Studies Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia 43600. Bangi Selangor MALAYSIA The Innovation Journal: The Public Sector Innovation Journal, Vol. 16(3), 2011, article 2. The Survival of Malaysia’s National Television Within a Changing Mediascape Fuziah Kartini Hassan Basri, Abdul Latiff Ahmad, Emma Mirza Wati Mohamad, Arina Anis Azlan and Hasrul Hashim ABSTRACT National television is the term used to describe television broadcasting owned and maintained for the public by the national government, and usually aimed at educational, informational and cultural programming. By this definition, Radio Televisyen Malaysia’s TV1 is the national television in Malaysia and until 1984 was the only television broadcast offered to Malaysians. With the privatization policy, new and private stations were established, and RTM eventually faced competition. The advent of direct satellite broadcasting saw another development in the country—the establishment of Astro in 1998. The direct-to-user satellite broadcaster currently carries over 100 channels, including 8 HD channels, thus creating many more choices for viewers. More importantly, Astro carries the global media directly into our homes. International offerings such as CNN, BBC, CCTV, HBO, MTV, FOX, ESPN, Star Sports, and Star World are now within the push of a button for most Malaysians. Astro is a success story, but there were also a few failed attempts along the way such as MetroVision, MegaTV and MiTV.

Ph.D. August 2004. Telecommunications Managing the Content of Malaysian Television Drama: Producers, Gatekeepers and the Barisan Nasional Government (303 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Drew McDaniel Abstract: The purpose of this dissertation is to describe and analyze how drama television content is managed in Malaysia. By looking at the production process of local drama television programming, this study examines the interactions among the three major players – the Barisan Nasional regime, the major television networks and independent producers – who are responsible for shaping its content. Three research methods are used for this study: in-depth interviewing, the informal conversational interview and documentary research. Between June 2001 and November 2002, 32 interviewees participated in this research. The research finds that the Malaysian drama television producer’s ability to generate program content is constrained by the Barisan Nasional regime. Three observations are made to outline the power relationship between the government and the television industry. First, the government often encourages television producers to make drama programs with the theme of friendship and goodwill (muhibah) among different ethnic communities in order to nurture racial harmony.

  • Monopoly in Malaysia Television Market: Effect on Malaysian Film Producers
    Humanities and Social Sciences Review, CD-ROM. ISSN: 2165-6258 :: 04(03):297–304 (2015) MONOPOLY IN MALAYSIA TELEVISION MARKET: EFFECT ON MALAYSIAN FILM PRODUCERS Zairul Anuar bin Md. Dawam, Rosli Sareya, Adley Bromeo Bianus and M. Fazmi Hisham Universiti Malaysia Sabah Shahizan Ali Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia The emergence of television in Malaysia has created new market opportunity for local production companies to sell products or television shows they have produced. Television has now become a bigger market compared to the film market for cinema screening. This is contributed by the increasing number of television channels in Malaysia which has eight free television channels i.e. TV1, TV2, TVi, TV3, NTV7, 8TV, TV9 and TV Al-Hijrah. Paid television network named ASTRO satellite television which serves more than 170 television channels has also provided new market opportunity through the channels of Astro Ria, Astro Prima and Astro Mustika. ASTRO also provides market opportunity for producers to broadcast recent films premiered in cinema through the pay per view channel known as Astro First. However, the ownership of television channels by particular company is feared to prompt monopoly in television market. This article discusses the effect on Malaysian film producers or production companies in Malaysia television market. Among issues being discussed are procedure to purchase television programme by government television network i.e. Radio dan Televisyen Malaysia (RTM), issue of low price purchase, ownership of products copyright by private television network and continually increment in subscription price by the first satellite television in Malaysia, ASTRO. Keywords: Television market, Monopoly, Film, Producer, ASTRO, RTM, Media Prima, TV3.
