CNN Philippines sign off for Good Friday
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=if9YrR1Xveg

It appears that the Broadcasters in the Philippines Restrict Broadcast hours Durning Holy Week, much Like RTE did in the 1960's.


Did they sign off for Easter?


Durning the 1960's RTE TV and Radio only came on air for Religious services on Good Friday afternoon, Usually, around 3 pm and after a closing News Bulletin they would be off air by 6.30pm. This practice died out by the late 60's (Everyone that could turned over to BBC or ITV)

However, this seems to still go on in the Philippines with almost all over the air broadcasters having restricted hours during Holy Week.

In case of Muslim-majority countries during the fasting month of Ramadan (which will start at the end of this month, but it follows the Hijri calendar where it follows the phases of the moon), TV stations will provide special programming during the pre-dawn meal and Iftar (evening meal after sunset). Never thought there would be a closedown period.

I have a question. Is there any difference between CCTV Xinwen Lianbo, CCTV 1's other news programmes and CCTV News channel?

Oh, I see.

By the way, there will be a Presidential election in South Korea on 9 May (UTC+9) that will replace the impeached President.

It seems that South Korea does an election on a Tuesday just like in the USA. I think other Asian countries don't do that. Here in Malaysia we do elections on a Saturday.


No. Since the new Constitution came to effect in 1987, South Korea used to have Presidential election on either Wednesday or Thursday in the middle of December. But this time is different because, as Ms. Park was officially removed from the power on 9 March, an election to find new President must be held within 60 days. From then on, unless there is a change in the Constitution, the next Presidential election will be held in March 5 years later.

Globo, SPTV (local news for Sao Paulo), new look, May 2017:




They've ditched the long running sided box look. They've added separate titles for separate editions. Also a very mappy title sequence.

The theme is a refresh of the previously improved refresh in 2015.

The same look is also shared on most Globo-affiliated stations across Brazil. The collective name for all local newscasts on their local stations is Praca TV.

On a side note, I found naming newscasts with numbers is common not just in Brazil and Austria's ORF but also Spanish-speaking countries and former Yugoslavian countries.

Are there any differences between the presidential elections of Korea and France, whoiam989?
WH

There won't be a second round vote like France in this election.

Normally, elections in South Korea are held until 6 pm (9 am UTC), but because of the nature of this election where the people vote for the new President who will replace the impeached Ms. Park, it will be held until 8 pm today (11 am UTC). KBS, MBC and SBS will have exit polls by then.

And the winner of this election will assume Presidency immediately (unlike normal Presidential elections).
