Its logo is a tilted big letter S, with the word SURIA in capital letters and a thin curve below it; all in yellow.

The government said the following day that it had no plans to start the channel. In August 1983, the SBC set that Channel 12 would broadcast for a period of two to three hours a day, opening at 7pm nightly. Such an arrangement would cause greater flexibility for the SBC to carry live Singapore Symphony Orchestra performances or other features making more use of the evening airtime. Th ...
