On Television in Singapore attempts to record milestones in the development of television over the last 25 years. It spans the period 1963 when a black and white service of 1½ hours was launched on one channel to the present day when 22½ hours of colour programming are daily telecast over three channels. The publication recalls the simple productions of the early years when facilities and equipment were basic and their usage stretched. It outlines how larger investments in equipment and infrastructure combined with the creativity of staff and talent led to bigger and better shows and news and current affairs coverages of impact.
