through-regular-channels: It was the dawn of a new hi-tech era. In 1972, political parties were given airtime to talk to voters in their own living rooms via television.
The tradition of the party political broadcast was still with us in 2011. But with all the hype surrounding the internet and social media, watching the broadcasts on television — even on a flatscreen high-definition set — had an oddly nostalgic feel.
Broadcast: Lina Chiam. Singapore People’s Party.
