After more than two decades of screening, ntv7 bids goodbye with its last transmission today, 16 February
The public TV channel, which was first launched on 7 April 1998, will be replaced with a new educational channel known as DidikTV KPM.
Recognised as Malaysia’s second-oldest private television channel, ntv7 has held many memories for Malaysians since the ’90s.
Here are just some of our favourite moments:
1. Waking up on weekend mornings or clocking in on the evenings to watch our favourite cartoons like Doraemon and Crayon Shin-chan

2. Making sure we didn’t miss any episode from our favourite TV series and having to wait a WHOLE WEEK to watch the next one
Binge-watching? What’s that?

No matter the festivity or celebration, the TV channel would always have its rendition.
So with the news of NTV7 going to be defunct and will turn into DidikTV by the gov, let’s dive into the memory lane with these “I feel good” compilations. This is so nostalgic pic.twitter.com/HXLH0eYhu2

4. For those who didn’t have Astro, ntv7’s debut felt like we finally had some access to “cooler” TV shows that other channels didn’t air
Before we subscribed to Astro, I used to watch series such as Charmed and Survivor on ntv7. Good times

If you grew up in Sarawak, you’ll know what I mean. When #ntv7 first started, it was known as the 4th tv channel after TV1, TV2 and TV3. We had Edisi Sabah & Sarawak too!Back then, my family can’t afford to have Astro or MegaTV, plus, 8tv was only available in West Malaysia.

6. Knowing what this means
ntv7’s test card during downtime meant that it was time to pee, we woke up too early, or it was time to go to bed.
7. How many of us swapped between 8TV and ntv7 to catch our favourite back-to-back shows?
When choices were limited compared to Netflix, you just settled for any show with potential. T_T
