Newsroom
Newsroom ranks as one of the most popular programmes on Net TV. Presented by Josianne Camilleri the programme is based on a number of features with different themes, the emphasis being on the here and now. Newsroom tries to take news on a higher level, seeing it from different angles, researching deeper with the people that matter and presenting it in the lightest possible way. Newsroom is not about opinions but the producers believe that this is public domain, where the main concern is facts. Their main objective is to be on the spot whenever news is breaking – whether to cover the ordaining of a new archbishop, an important election in France, a new policy in education or the success story of so many 'ordinary' people. Produced by Lourdes Pullicino.

Kontra l-Ħin
'Kontra l-Ħin' is not a game show but a quiz show which tests the knowledge and sharpness of both the competitors and the viewers at home. The popularity of this quiz show is not surprising. Firstly, it is neither a syndicated quiz nor a copied one. It is a totally original concept. The questions asked are manageable. The guests on the programme all enjoy helping the competitors win their daily money prizes. The presenter, Carlo Borg Bonaci and his “side-kick” Tony Barbaro Sant, who acts as judge on the show, are inimitable characters and their exchanges are always witty with each trying to prove his humour is drier! Adults enjoy the show because of its general knowledge. Parents enjoy the show because they’re relieved their kids are watching something with educational content – discreet yet present. Children enjoy the show because they love to learn, and answer questions. The fact that the final questions are asked twice does tend to drive the information home to the viewers.
NET TV has distributed over Lm 40,000 in prizes over two years and this year, the prize fund is being increased in various ways. The winner of each show will take something home even if he or she only answers 2 questions of the final game. The prize fund for each show is €2,500 (Lm 1,073.25) which is the amount which may be won by a competitor answering all final 12 questions. The last show, planned for June 2008, is offering a final prize of €15,000 (Lm 6,439.50).
Anyone interested in competing in this popular show should write to 'Kontra l-Hin', NET TV, Triq Herbert Ganado, Pietà or send an e-mail to kontralhin@nettv.com.mt.

Another Life
The Davidsons aren't like other families whose sagas unfold on daytime television. To be sure, their lives are full of trials and triumphs, drama and humour, mayhem and romance - all of the elements that fuel the plot of other TV "soap operas." But the Davidson family has tapped into "Another Life" bringing a new dimension to their stories and fresh appeal to this classic entertainment genre. Written by veteran Hollywood writer Jason Vinley, "Another Life" is lovely and a down-to-earth alternative to the tired and unbelievable story lines that fill daytime television. By drawing strength from an ancient source of inner peace and wisdom, the Davidson family takes on the joys and disappointments of life in a way that shows a different dimension of daily living. Real life, with all of its anguish and happiness, is the subject of this fresh family drama. With more than 800 episodes produced, "Another Life" offers a wealth of family entertainment that touches the heart.

Gheruq
Għeruq is about a Maltese family in a rural part of a local village. Bennard is a farmer who has tilled the land for many years hoping that his land would one day be inherited by future generations. Many rural areas were built up in the name of progress over the years. But Bennard hoped his land would be spared and be kept intact. He and his sister Salvina keep a deep family secret. Was Bennard a simple farmer or was there more than meets the eye?
The story is set before the Second World War at a high-society residence. Baron Anton DeGiovanni is a very disciplined father and his family’s honour is always a priority over everything else. One of the servants in the house, Marjanna, falls in love with the Baron’s son Enrico. Marjanna’s pregnancy changes the young couple’s passionate affair. The Baron forsees the mishap about to befall the family and its ties with other nobility, and orders his wife to fire Marjanna. But Enrico will not abandon his first love. He is faced with choosing between love and noble inheritance. After walking out of his father’s household, the couple move into a farmhouse. In the midst of the war, in a common shelter, Bennard is born.
Enrico dies during the war and his father regrets his previous decision. He wants to make amends by giving his grandson the land his own son was to inherit. When Bennard grows up and learns of his past, he is adamant to keep the land in its natural state. But ‘progress’ triumphs over traditional values, friends become foes and life changes overnight.
