Latest ! TV Schedules To Change For Primetime Programmes Due To NDP Rally Tonight !

18 August 2008

In view of the postponement of the English Segment of the NDP Rally 2008 to tonight , which was originally scheduled for LIVE telecast last night , Mediacorp has made some changes to some of the original TV Programmes scheduled for telecast on both Mediacorp Mandarin Channels - Channel 8 and Channel U tonight ! The English NDP Rally would be shown stimutaneously across on all Mediacorp Channels from 8pm to 10pm .

For the record , this is the first time in the NDP Rally history that the Speech LIVE Telecast had to be postponed . PM Lee himself made the decision on Saturday and announced that the English Segment of the Rally would not be telecast LIVE last night and instead , it would be broadcast to the public only tonight at 8pm onwards on all Mediacorp TV Stations and Radio 938 LIVE , so as to allow the whole nation to witness and focus their attention on our women paddlers in Action in the Table Tennis Team Event Gold Medal Final Match , which was shown LIVE on three Channels last night - Mediacorp Channel 5 & Channel U and Starhub Cable Olympics Channel 605 .

As such , one of those programmes to be affected by the changes made to tonight's TV Schedules was popular Blockbuster Channel 8 Primetime 9pm Drama Serial - The Defining Moment starring Fann Wong as well as many other big names such as Xiangyun , Zhu Houren and Jeanette Aw . Tonight's Episode would therefore be pre-tempted till tomorrow .

As for viewers of Channel U programmes , the LIVE Telecast of SuperBand 2 would still proceed tonight . The competition will still take place tonight but at an earlier time-slot at 7pm to 8pm . The Results Show would still be shown at the same time at 11.30pm tonight .
