MediaCorp’s foundations and digital evolution

Headquartered at Mediacorp Campus in the one-north technology hub, the company operates six television channels, 11 radio stations, and a portfolio of digital platforms including meWATCH, meLISTEN, and CNA (Channel News Asia). Its digital transformation began in earnest during the early 2010s, aligning its strategy with global trends and audience demand for on-demand content.
The company’s media influence spans across Southeast Asia through CNA, a regional news platform available in more than 29 territories, delivering credible, Asian-centric journalism. Backed by in-house production facilities and an extensive talent agency—The Celebrity Agency—MediaCorp has been a consistent incubator of local talent while maintaining high production standards that compete on a global level.
