they are gonna move out of Caldecott Hill along Lornie Road and to a new 70,000 square metres media complex at Bukit Batok!
the new complex will house all of their TV (MediaCorp TV, TV12 and News), Radio (MediaCorp Radio) and Print (MediaCorp Publishing and News) operations.
they are also considering taking up some space in Fusionpolis, One North, which is being developed as a media hub in Singapore. which is around Dover as well!
this means in the future, we are probably gonna see Christopher Lee or Fann Wong right in Western Singapore!
sounds pretty exciting to me. provided I dont move out of the West by then lah.
==
since I have an open hatred for mediacock, lets talk about the less glitzy details.
CEO of Mediacock is the fifth richest guy in Singapore at US$1.9 billion. doesnt it make you wonder where all the moolah come from. I think it is probably from putting crap on TV and thus cutting costs.
anyway, he says the move to a greenfield site in Bukit Batok will help mediacock "improve workflow, enjoy business synergies and efficiencies and help improve our services to deliver valued content to the world".
yeah right, it is probably just to cut costs further and make him even richer. Bukit Batok land is much cheaper than Caldecott Hill land since Thomson area is where all the rich people lives.
if they sell those land, they will make a huge load of moolah! that doesnt mean the shows will be better though. they will probably just give a "Progress Package" to all mediacock staff like the gahmen.
==
okay enough ranting. lets all look forward to the new complex and hope that mediacock would bring us better shows with the improved complex.
remember, you heard it first on deskoh91.blogspot.com. actually I am a bit slow lah. it is released like last week =P
