It is about time MediaCorp reach out to talents outside its pool of boring talents. Every national day, every countdown you see the same clowns. Just like watching a repeat. There are many great talents out there that need a platform and MediaCorp is not doing enough to support them. Being the only active media TV it makes me wonder why I have to turn on to SCV for entertainment. MediaCorp you have not progress and your are get from bad to worst. The Final One in my opinion was a big BIG failure. The structure of the show was so badly thought out. What have resulted from the Final One today. You be the judge.

Back in the 1960s Rediffusion was the radio station that hosted and promoted local talents. Local talents were sought after and shows ran at full house. Our local talents then were selling records but the numbers. MediaCorp has lots to learn.
