NewsVision

NewsVision was the first Singaporean subscription television channel. Owned by Singapore Cable Vision, the channel aired a mix of live and pre-recorded news bulletins from various sources, as well as a repeat of the news from Channel 5. It was eventually replaced by CNN International.

History

NewsVision, the first of the three SCV channels, launched on 2 April 1992. Initially the channel's schedule consisted of rebroadcasts of CNN International,[1] in a bid it won in December 1991 over BBC World Service Television, due to the technical limitations of the initial service.[2] NewsVision carried eight minutes of advertising per hour, being shared between local ad slots and those from the relays of CNN International.[3]

NewsVision's CNN coverage was supplemented by the ITN World News and simulcasts of the 9pm SBC News bulletin.[4] By July 1993, NewsVision had added content from the NHK, the news bulletin of the recently launched Australia Television International and its newest addition, a half-hour BBC World Service Television bulletin from Monday to Saturday.[5]

SBC 5 aired a commercial for NewsVision on 5 October 1993 during the news, where a boxing glove repeatedly punched a television screen to reveal the names of the partners (CNNI, ITN, BBC, NHK, ATVI). The commercial announced that Singaporeans now had access to 24-hour news coverage, which SBC saw as a challenge to its operation.[6] By January 1995, it had added programmes from Asia Business News.[7]

It is unknown when exactly did NewsVision shut down; the launch of SCV's full cable service in June 1995 provided 24-hour access to its partner channels (ABN, NHK, BBC World, CNN International).[8]
