SPH MediaWorks Channel U

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SPH MediaWorks' Channel U ( Simplified Chinese: 优频道; pinyin: yōu píndào) is a Chinese-language television channel in Singapore which began broadcasts in 6 May 2001. As a result of the media merger with MediaCorp, the channel was run by MediaCorp TV from 1 January 2005 under the same name.

Although initially having to rely largely on imported content, the channel was quick to introduce innovative and well-received programmes despite the limited size of its talent base compared to the larger MediaCorp. The channel was so successful, that it has managed to receive ratings as high as, or exceeding that of MediaCorp TV Channel 8 before transferring to MediaCorp.
