MediaCorp Central () was an English and Tamil language Television channel in Singapore. It had a combination of 3 distinct programming belts, Kids Central() for Children, Vasantham Central((タミル語:வசந்தம் சென்ட்ரல்);) for the Indian community in Singapore and Arts Central() for broadcast of Arts television programs. Previously, Indian programming was broadcast together with Malay programming on Prime 12 while Premiere 12 consists of Arts, Documentary and Children's programming. The channel became defunct on 18 October 2008 when Vasantham Central was relaunched as a standalone channel MediaCorp Vasantham; Arts Central and Kids Central was merged and relaunched as MediaCorp okto which currently has children's, arts and sports programming. ==History== *1 September 1995 – Channel 8 began 24-hour transmission and Tamil programmes, previously aired on Channel 8, was separated from Channel 8 to form Premiere 12, which later included Kids and Arts programmes and was renamed to become Central, on 30 January 2000. Central had 3 program belts: # Kids Central – a children's television channel with enriching educational & animation programming. # Vasantham Central – a Tamil language channel. # Arts Central – a channel that showcases art, cultural and largely foreign award-winning productions and incorporated a significant amount of niche programming, making the channel rather distinctive compared to the others. *20 October 2008 – Central was restructured. The program belt of Vasantham Central was extended to form the new Vasantham, a full-fledged Indian Channel to provide better television programmes to the Indian community of Singapore, as announced on 1 January 2008 when the Parliament of Singapore decided to expand the Tamil language Vasantham Central into a standalone Tamil language channel. This leaves behind Kids Central and Arts Central, the other two program belts of Central remained and Central was renamed OKTO since then. Vasantham took over the frequency of the Central and OKTO took over the frequency of Channel I, a channel which went defunct since 1 January 2005. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MediaCorp Central」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
