RTM, TVRI To Jointly Produce Third Edition Of 'Ekspresi Gemilang'

KUALA LUMPUR, March 16 (Bernama) -- RTM of Malaysia and Indonesia's TVRI will jointly produce the third edition of musical entertainment programme "Ekspresi Gemilang" to forge closer relations between the two countries.

The programme is a continuation of the "Senada Seirama" and "Senandung Serumpun" programmes.

Deputy Director of Broadcasting Adilah Sheikh Omar said Ekspresi Gemilang was not just a programme that would assemble popular artistes from both countries but also a platform for them to widen their influence and popularity.

"The programme can also open up artistic opportunities and serve as a platform to combine creative ideas of the two media organisations and artistes," he told a press conference on the programme here Thursday.

RTM's TV Entertainment Unit Controller Jack Nadarajah said that though the joint production retained its objective, several changes had been made to suit current needs.

"Before this, the approach we took was quite traditional but after several studies, it has been changed including the title to make it look more modern besides the programme content that has been adjusted to suit the target audience. We are sure the content can draw more viewers," he said.

The third edition of Ekspresi Gemilang this Saturday will be carried live from Auditorium Perdana in Angkasapuri.

The two-hour show will be aired by TV2 from 8.30 pm (Malaysian time) and by TVRI from 7.30 pm (Indonesian time).

Among local artistes who will take part in the programme are Jaclyn Victor, Danielle Lee, Zamani, Azharina, Nassier Wahab and Mohram while Indonesia will have Erie Susan, Victor Hutabat, Dewi Marpaung and Lussy Kayla.

The programme, produced by Mohd Yusni Mohamed Ali, will see local compere Sharifah Shahira and Indonesia's Adwin Manansang as the masters-of-ceremony.

The first edition of Ekspresi Gemilang was aired live on Aug 27 last year from Auditorium Perdana while the second, on Dec 10, was broadcast from Jakarta.
