It has become a leading broadcaster in Asia with media offerings spanning multimedia platforms which include television, print, interactive media, out-of-home media, movie productions as well as other businesses.

From the move to its iconic Caldecott Hill home in 1937 to broadcasting the 1977 World Cup in full colour, the growth of MediaCorp also signalled the rise of Singapore's entertainment industry. To cater to the needs of audiences, it expanded its media offerings to include print publications as well as various collaborations with prominent international names.

MediaCorp's delivery of quality content has gained international recognition through its multitude of international accolades, including its wins at the Asian Television Awards and Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards. With the liberalisation of the media industry, it continues to enhance its position as a market leader poised to further engage audiences.
