Before the news

I had a short TV DXing Msia and INsia on 25th via stream checking a few national TV channels  BY chance I was watching the news programs  at time 10xx UTC starting with SCTI TV

Both countries use now the or Krismas (from English )  instad of the previous -Spanish- Natal to name the Christmas. It seems a noticed day if not national

There were many people talking not only on the day but also on the covid problem Some of them were Tamil . vaccines are very close to be reached to the country . Greece is already receiving the vaccine and we will start from  28th. A house was filled with thousands of mini lamps for the feel of  Christmas in Msia with inhabitants seeming as Tamil

It is also fun that a Turkish series is aired via the RTM2 on same time! Subtitles are used.   The same also happens here in Greece with fair audience numbers stories are very good and weepy.
