Cable/Satellite TV
MediaCorp TV is the only television broadcasting company
in Singapore, with 7 free channels – Channel 5, Channel
8, Channel U, TV Mobile, Suria, Central (which broadcasts Arts Central, Kids
Central and Vasantham Central) & Channel NewsAsia, and the closer you live
to the Singapore-Johor Bahru Causeway the more chaneels you could pick up from
neighbouring Malaysia. If you want more than just the freely available terrestial
channels, however, cable and satellite television would be the way to access
channels from other Asian countries, Australia and further afield.
