Mediacorp Channel 5 decision to Delay Telecast Tonight’s AFF Suzuki Cup Final Group B Match between Singapore vs Vietnam will still stay despite the many calls and appeals made by local soccer fans on their Facebook Wall . The uproar of many Singaporeans also saw a petition page being created in Twitter seeking like minded fans to pen their signatures to support the movement . But despite all these efforts , die hard Lions fans WILL NOT get to see the Match being shown LIVE Tonight at 8.30pm on Mediacorp Channel 5 ! Normal programming will stay with Ninja Warrior at 8pm , followed by News 5 Tonight at 9.30pm , with the match to be shown as DELAYED Telecast after the News Buttetin at 10pm . Calls and appeals to Channel 5 on their Facebook Wall for them to exercise some flexibility to their normal programming schedules have apparently fallen on deaf ears too !
Many echoed similar sentiments that if this all important crucial match could not be Telecast LIVE on Mediacorp Channel 5 itself due to the News Buttetin , they can make other alternate arrangements for it to be shown on other Mediacorp Channels such as okto Channel , or even pre-tempted some of their normal programming as well as have the News shown later at 10.30pm instead , after the soccer match had ended . After all , these were done during their coverage of the Youth Olympic Games , Commonwealth Games and the recently concluded Asian Games held in Guangzhou last month . So , the same could also be done for just one day tonight , says the fans leaving angry comments on Channel 5 Facebook Wall .
In their reply to local fans appeals and complaints on their Facebook Page , Channel 5 citied ‘ schedule considerations ‘ as their main reason for not being able to carry the Singapore vs Vietnam match LIVE Tonight at 8.30pm .
