Won't be surprised if its true. Their viewership stinks and people are not impressed anymore when cable is readily available. They must have realized that simply talking about FT and integration gets people THINKING about the issue, and once people start thinking about it they realize that the govt is treating them very unfairly.

A huge, failed attempt at propaganda.

the sliding viewership is giving mediacorps top brass many sleepless nights. Very hard to produce good dramas when media outlets is view more as a government messenger than a form of entertainment.. Don't know if it gov micro manage or self-censorship on the part of MCS, just heard a top brass producer saying something like if the drama features FT, there mustn't be any quarrel or fight between the FT and local. If there is such a scene, it must either be local vs local or FT vs FT. Even minor detail like scripts and the scenes are control. How to be creative under such a restrictive environment?
