}}Okto is a Singaporean free-to-air television channel that is owned by Mediacorp. A replacement of the Kids and Arts segments of Central, the channel aired mostly children's programmes, as well as some arts and sports programmes. The channel's target audiences are children ages 4–12, and adults ages 18–39.[1] The channel will shut down on May 1, 2019, due to lack of viewership.[2]

History

Premiere 12 was launched on 1 September 1995, following the split of Channel 12 into it and Prime 12. The channel broadcast on a separate UHF frequency (Channel 12's was occupied by Prime 12, now Suria). Premiere 12 also included children's TV series (mainly for a preschooler audience) and sports coverage. Premiere 12 later included Tamil-language series and was rebranded as Central, on 30 January 2000.

Central's programming schedule was composed of three timeshared channels: Kids Central, focused on kids' programming; Vasantham Central, a Tamil-language programming block; and Arts Central centred on cultural programming.

On 19 October 2008, Central was dissolved. Vasantham Central on-air time was extended to form Vasantham, an independent channel focused on the Indian community of Singapore, as announced in January 2008 by the Parliament. Meanwhile, Kids Central and Arts Central were merged into a single channel named Okto, on a frequency formerly occupied by Channel i.

In May 2015, it began airing in HD along with Channel NewsAsia.

On 1 May 2019, the channel will cease transmission due to lack of viewership. The current Okto and OktoSports programming will be split upon shutdown: childrens shows will be absorbed into Channel 5's morning and midday schedule (replacing show reruns and morning bulletin simulcasts from CNA), and sports content will be absorbed primarily to Mediacorp's over-the-top service Toggle and on Channel 5 for selected sports coverages.[3]

Programming

Okto mostly airs English language-produced series with selected shows being broadcast in their original language. The channel's programming consists of children's TV series, documentaries, lifestyle, news, current affairs, anime, and art performances.

In June 2014, Sports on Okto was introduced which shows sporting events live as well as recorded and delayed coverage. Events such as 2014 FIFA World Cup (opening match, 2 semi-finals & final), 2014 Commonwealth Games, 2014 Summer Youth Olympics, 2014 Asian Games and 2014 AFF Suzuki Cup have been broadcast on the channel.[4] As Singapore hosted the 2015 SEA Games, Okto took the full coverage of the games live, and in HD for the first time, including the Opening & Closing ceremonies and the daily highlights.
