8world News is a department which produces news, current affairs, and info-ed programmes for two Mediacorp channels aired in Mandarin, Channels 8 and U.
Prior to 2010, the news were presented in three timeslots - News 8 At One (Chinese:1点新闻), which airs daily; Singapore Today (Chinese:狮城6点半), and News 8 at 10. (Chinese:10点新闻). With the reduction of MediaCorp News Group employees and the increased demand for more variety programme content on Channel U, MediaCorp announced that the news programmes on Channel U would end with effect from 29 March 2010. News 8 at 10 would then air at 11.00pm there, as a new title called News Tonight (Chinese:晚间新闻).
Beginning from 20 October 2014, Hello Singapore (Chinese: 狮城有约) took over Singapore Today on weekdays, with news segments at 6.30pm and 7.00pm, it was broadcast live on weekdays & News 8 At One will not be broadcast on weekends.
Channel 8 News started broadcasting on new headquarters 1 Stars Avenue starting 13 March 2017, leaving the former headquarters Caldecott Hill after the broadcast of News Tonight on 12 March 2017. This move also brings an overall change for news graphics, subtitles, and the upgrade of hardware. [1]
On 1 April 2021, News 8 At One, Hello Singapore and Singapore Today started including Chinese subtitles.
There are different news presenters every day for news programmes. There are two news presenters on the weekday version of News Tonight, but mostly a single presenter presents the news in every timeslot. Highlights of the day's news are shown in a ticker found on the left side of the screen on Channel 8, usually half an hour before the news airs.
The news timeslots are mostly fixed. However, there are some exceptions:
Commentaries would not be heard at the end of the drama series during the credits, regardless of production company (e.g. Wawa Pictures, Mediacorp Studios Malaysia), whether if there are no featurettes, promotions, theme songs or snippets. The Ultimatum was the first drama series to air without commentaries, while Crescendo became the first non-Mediacorp Studios produced drama to air without commentaries. Hero was the first show with neither of the 4 conditions to have no commentary but only for the first episode, subsequent episodes had commentaries.
