Unique Features
When an interviewee gives his/her views in a language other than English an Channel NewsAsia does not superimpose the original audio with a voice translation unlike other news organisations. Instead an English subtitle appears preserving and complementing the original audio. This includes programmes that use Indonesian and Malay as their main language.
Moreover, most news networks broadcast programmes for 24 hours a day but Channel NewsAsia will give text headlines for 5 hours (for Singapore and international viewers) until 06:00 HK/SIN time. It was announced that Channel NewsAsia will begin 24 hours live broadcasting starting January 2013.

Famous quotes containing the words unique and/or features:
“No word, no thing,
and either’s unique name.”
—Paul Celan [Paul Antschel] (1920–1970)
““It looks as if
Some pallid thing had squashed its features flat
And its eyes shut with overeagerness
To see what people found so interesting
In one another, and had gone to sleep
Of its own stupid lack of understanding,
Or broken its white neck of mushroom stuff
Short off, and died against the windowpane.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
