Didn't the same thing happen in early 2000's, before Mediaworks
was conceived? Deja vu. 
Frankly, I never supported the idea of a merger. Channel i and u
were fantastically great, and I heard they are willing to give the
budget to produce good local variety shows while also importing
quality taiwan shows. Mediacorp all along their production budget
like sai, and now that their are the only ones, it's even more
shitty and everyone's underpaid, give insufficient budget to force
producers to get sponsors on their own. Where got time for
creativity?
