Overseas S’poreans can watch NDP ‘live’ on MediaCorp

SINGAPORE — Overseas Singaporeans can, for the first time, view this year’s National Day Parade “live” on MediaCorp’s online platform Toggle, which will simulcast it across the four language platforms — Channel 5, Channel 8, Suria and Vasantham. They can do so by registering for a Toggle account using their NRIC number.

This is part of MediaCorp’s multi-platform coverage of the nation’s 48th birthday celebrations. The parade can be watched on television or followed on MediaCorp radio stations. XinMSN will also offer “live” streaming of the simulcast from Channel 5.

Those unable to catch the “live” broadcast may watch it on Toggle catch-up at http://toggle.sg/page/free/491 for the four channels. XinMSN will offer catch-up viewing on http://xinmsn.com/ndp2013 for Channel 8 and Channel 5 from Saturday.

MediaCorp’s digital screens will also show the parade at JCube, Bugis Village, iFly (Sentosa), Orchard Central (indoors), ION Orchard and ChinaTown Point on indoor and outdoor screens from 5.45pm to 8.35pm. In addition, 16 bus stops in town will screen it on 55-inch LED TV screens.
