15 December 2007
To those who are lucky enough to get access and watch TV programmes on Indonesia's RCTI Channel here in Singapore , did u get a blue screen for almost a week whenever u switch on that Channel ? If u have , u are not alone . Me too and some of my friends and neighbours did too as I found out !
What immediately came onto the minds of regular RCTI Channel viewers here in Singapore was suspecion of a case of foul play in an attempt to block out certain programmes here in Singapore to prevent us from watching them on the RCTI Channel here in Singapore !
It was really of NO concidence seriously , I believe that as soon as news broke out here last Friday on this Blog , which carries the report that not only our very own Channel 5 will be showing u Asian Idol , RCTI Channel will also be showing u even more Asian Idol Special Programmes on their Channel , as a countdown to the biggest singing competition across Asia set to take place on 15 December , the transmission of the Channel here in Singapore went blank the next day onwards . All we could see for the past 1 week was only a sea of blue screen staring at our face !
Some of our regular followers of the Idol singing competition were understandably very frustrated , angry and annoyed at having to content with just staring at the same blue screen for the past one week , after learning of the good news through our EXCLUSIVE report here ! The one week long lost in transmission of Indonesia's RCTI Channel here in Singapore also caused much inconveniences to regular viewers and followers of it's programmes ! For soccer fans , they did not even get to watch the last round of Champions League Group Stages Matches as well as last week's Spanish League LIVE games !
The same blue screen stayed on the Channel from last Saturday ( 8 December ) till this Friday ( 14 December ) . Transmission only went back to normal only today ! This is very clearly a case of deliberate Block Out of programmes as a means to prevent us from watching those 'extra' Asian Idol Programmes that were not shown on our local Channel here , but were instead , produced and shown only EXCLUSIVELY on RCTI Channel itself !
Those 'extra ' Asian Idol Programmes on RCTI Channel includes :
Asian Idol Extra
Beginning , 24 November 2007 to 14 December 2007 , every Monday to Friday , LIVE & EXCLUSIVE on RCTI Channel at 4.30pm ( Singapore Time ) .
Steps Towards Asia
Saturday , 8 December 2007 LIVE & EXCLUSIVE on RCTI Channel at 10pm ( Singapore Time ).
* Although the Road To Asian Idol which was shown on the Eve of the Performance Show , but Idol followers who happened to be very lucky enough to have the RCTI Channel will get the rare opportunity to watch it FIRST and one week earlier too before it's TV Premiere here !
* Road To Asian Idol 2007
Sunday , 9 December 2007 at 10pm on RCTI Channel ( Singapore Time )
If so , why was the transmission back to normal only today ? It was widely speculated by friends and viewers of RCTI Channel here that the transmission only return to normal only today simply because the Performance Show & Results Show , we will also be watching them on the same day and at the same time as them ! Make Sense ?
