S’gor Web-TV well received

ELAN PERUMAL at the Selangor State Assembly

THE Selangor Web-TV is fast becoming a hit among people both in the state and outside, including foriegners.

Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim said the state-owned web-television, which started operations in March, had received overwhelming response from viewers. It had recorded 6.82 million hits until October.

“We had a big following during the Select Committee on Competence, Accountability and Transperancy (Selcat) proceedings,” he said in his reply to Kajang representative Lee Kin Sin (PR).

During the peak, Khalid said, the Web TV had received as many as 111,308 hits a day.

On a normal day, he said, it attracted an average of 50,728 visitors.

“Most viewers spent an average of between 30 and 60 minutes on each visit,” he said.

Khalid also said the state had spent RM800,065 on the web television broadcasts so far. This averaged RM100,000 per month and he felt the money was well spent.

“We cannot deny that our Web TV is very popular,” he said.

He added that the TV had not been officially launched yet.

Khalid said the objective of the TV was to reach out to the people of Selangor on the latest developments in the state, and the people had been following many events live, including the ongoing state assembly meeting.

The Web TV has not been officially launched yet.

Nevertheless, I don't think Khalid would mind me unofficially announcing it here in my blog! 8)
