Newspaper reports that CH 5 viewership is on a steady decline

 

The main gripes are that CH5 shows are lame, old or boring.

 

To be very honest I never watched CH5 after getting cable (although cable quality also dropped a lot)

 

CH5 used to have a nice show in the 90s called Hey Singapore! but other than that, they don't really have anything memorable.

 

I consider shows like PCK to be extremely lame.

 

 

And I never watch any TV since I got broadband and BT

since no pay tv licence, cant complain liow.............

Is this decline due to us not paying the Radio and TV Licence Fees ?

Money no enough or too well fed for 30 years or so ?

The decline is because they face competition first from cable and now internet.

 

They also cannot improve much for fear of OB markers.

Their movies are crap too....... super old.

 

Last night i saw the commercial that they are going to show "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" on Ch 5...... DUH??????????. How old is this movie??? 20 yrs??

 

Never mind. For the Gen Y, this will be a completely new, unseen, original movie!
