Kuala Lumpur - BERNAMA TV`s news channel which began its 24-hour transmission today is capable of becoming the top choice of viewers within 100 days, Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama) chairman Datuk Seri Mohd Annuar Zaini said.
He said he wanted the channel to be the top choice and one capable of drawing the confidence of the public as an alternative local news channel in the country.
He said that although BERNAMA TV was still in its infancy compared with the established news channels like CNN, BBC and Al-Jazeera, it was an achievable target.
"I want people to start saying within the first 100 days that this is an alternative news channel which is real, accurate and fast. I think this is achievable in the first 100 days.
"If within these 100 days, we are still the subject of doubt, then I think our ascent and challenge will become steeper," he said in the programme,"Helo Malaysia", aired over Astro channel 502 today.
