The FM 89.3 spectrum is vacant while FM 96.3, currently occupied by Expat Radio 96.3 XFM, will be vacated by September 2016 upon expiry of its operating licence. To attract the widest range of proposals possible and inject greater vibrancy into the local radio scene (Please see Annex A for list of existing radio stations), MDA welcomes new concepts and will not limit proposals to any particular genre or programming format. All proposals will be evaluated based on the strength of programming characteristics and quality, as well as the financial standing of the tenderers and their business plans. In addition, those looking to operate commercial radio stations on the two frequencies will be required to submit a monetary bid. Tenderers submitting not-for-profit proposals will not need to do so but they will instead be evaluated on the social impact of their programming concepts. The tender opens today and it will close on 14 September 2016. Results will be announced by the first quarter of 2017.

Share 1 Tweet 0 Share 2 In our fast-paced workplace today, the corporate wear familiar to all of us has mirrored surroundings that haven’t changed very much: Comformity. The perception is further enhanced with the dominance of grey (like most suits at work) in our boardrooms, suggesting that guys prefer to play it safe. When the dress code isn’t printed in bold like those outdated motivational, mission statement-type posters on the walls or listed in your KPI, there’s no reason for men to be scared of pushing the style envelope at work. If you’re a guy who expects the best ROI from your blue- chip stocks as well as your work wardrobe, take a peek into the notes that we’ve slipped into the workplace/office style suggestion box.

  • New Digital Realities and Old PSB Models – the Case of Public Access and Participation in Singapore’S Televisual Landscape
    New digital realities and old PSB models – the case of public access and participation in Singapore’s televisual landscape Submitted and accepted by Media International Australia in October 2017 for publication. [Note: The authors thank the Editor, two anonymous reviewers, Jeffrey Lim, Terence Lee and Howard Lee, for their constructive comments which have made this a much better paper. Corresponding author email address: [email protected]] Abstract Does public service broadcasting (PSB), with its 20th-century state-controlled and state- funded structure, still have a role to play in increasing access, public participation, and a strong national media system in today’s globalising East Asia? This article, by taking Singapore as a case study, examines why and how traditional PSB media players have been forced to change their institutional and transactional responses to the ‘shocks’ of digitization. In particular, it examines how the rise of web 2.0, with its de-territorialised media services and social media, challenges PSB’s relevance as trends towards universal access, a greater participatory culture and active audiences render PSB content increasingly anachronistic. Introduction On 4 May, 2016, local news site Mothership.sg described how Singaporeans’ fascination for the latest Korean drama series Descendants of the Sun on their TV and personal computer screens almost became a ‘cultural moment’ in Singapore. It also declared that “local TV must up its game on locally-produced content or we’ll one day live-stream its death” (Lim and Tan, 2016). This anecdote reveals an underlying ‘crisis’ that Singapore’s local TV broadcaster MediaCorp faces in delivering Public Service Broadcasting (PSB) to audiences.

  • 1 Minister-Leveraging Icmd Sectors for Future Economic Growth.Pdf
    RESPONSE BY DR YAACOB IBRAHIM, MINISTER FOR COMMUNICATIONS AND INFORMATION, AT THE COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY DEBATE ON MCI’S BUDGET ON FRIDAY, 8 MAR 2013 LEVERAGING THE ICMD SECTORS FOR FUTURE ECONOMIC GROWTH I thank honourable Members for their valuable comments and suggestions. 2. The infocomm, media, and design sectors continue to show great promise – in their own right, as well as their potential to transform society and the economy. Innovation has come about through successive waves of convergence. 3. The first wave of convergence brought together the IT and telecommunications industries – to give us the infocomm sector. This wave is almost complete. Later this year, new homes to be built will no longer need to be fitted with telephone ports, since a data port can serve both voice and data needs. 4. The second wave of convergence is unifying data. This wave is allowing for the emergence of massive datasets from which businesses and government can get deep insights to help improve services. This is why we see data analytics as a promising growth area for the infocomm sector. 5. The third wave of convergence is bringing together infocomm and media industries. It is presently disrupting traditional business models for content creation, but there is no doubt that it will eventually lead to new and more robust business models. We must ensure that our regulatory frameworks are able to keep pace, and Singapore is among several countries at the forefront of studying its impact. 6. Around the corner, we see possibilities for infocomm flowing into autonomous machines. This will be especially relevant as the Singapore economy shifts gear in view of slowing workforce growth.
