MediaCorp is also ramping up its digital properties, including iPad versions of Today newspaper and Style magazine; Me radio; apps including Channel News Asia; and venture with Microsoft, Xinmsn, which is now Singapore’s number one online portal.

It also highlighted the advertising opportunities associated with the celebration of its 75th anniversary in 2011.
