History


Tamil programming was originally shown on channel 8 from its launch on 23 November 1963 until 1 September 1995, when it became a Mandarin-language channel, along with the launch of Premiere 12. With the rebrand of Channel 12 to Prime 12, Tamil-language programming was moved from channel 8. On 30 January 2000, it was later transferred to Premiere 12, as Prime 12 was rebranded as Suria and became a standalone Malay-language channel. Premiere 12 was renamed Central.


On 19 October 2008, Vasantham started broadcasting as an independent Tamil-language network focused on the Indian community living in Singapore.
