Somtamnication Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Mr. PM, can you define "USEFUL" as per junta regulations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NongKhaiKid Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 A govt spokesman will answer any questions local residents may have about government ? Yes right ! I'm sure the questions will be carefully vetted and if anything unwanted does slip in it won't be aired. The message will be, surprise surprise, Positive and everybody will be so happy with everything the govt's done and will continue doing. I wonder if the junta really believes the populace will watch far less swallow the BS on offer ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 The station will from now on broadcast useful and entertaining shows for the public and do what it can to make them as interesting as possible. Wow that is quite an endorsement But to be fair it is difficult to make propaganda fun. They will soon learn the best way to get the viewers to watch such a channel is to eliminate the other channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinneil Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Maybe a Thai version of Fawlty towers would be appropriate. If the PM is behind this it has got to be a comedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramrod711 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I hope they include a montage of Prayuts angry retorts to reporters questions, they are definitely the funniest thing on Thai television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pib Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Beware...watching the revamped NBT will cause your TV to permanently lock to only the NBT channel. And subconsciously here's what you will really be seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveAustin Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Initially thinking this is could be a plus as taking air time from the typically laborious, brain numbing Thai TV tripe would be a good thing for the populace, but then again this is the military we're talking about where the potential for propaganda is quite large.

arrowsdawdle Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Questions for the locals to ask must be selected from the approved list. Failure to stick to the list will put the local in an impromptu live fire zone as per Seh Daeng. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuanku Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 The show is to called "a yellow chicken speaks" It will feature audio clues to trigger appropriate audience reaction, such as a fart sound whenever Thaksin is mentioned, a trumpet fanfare for the General, a gong for the charter etc. English subtitles will feature humorous spelling mistakes and double entendres. All other channels will be "invited" to be off air while the show is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emster23 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 was thinking they could revive some old US game shows, such as "Who do you trust?" or "What's my line?" or "The Price is right" or "Let's make a deal" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching a government official answering scripted questions from the public sounds like the very definition of "typically laborious, brand numbing Thai TV tripe"!
