The list of nominees for the 59th Golden Bell Awards was announced yesterday (September 4th) afternoon. TBS was shortlisted for five categories including the Best Children Program, Best Innovative Research, Development, and Application, Best Arts and Culture Program, as well as Best Arts and Culture Program Host.

According to TBS, Welcome to Wasal, a program hosted by Itih and Caciu, was shortlisted for “Best Children Program”. Featuring qualities such as “significant, interesting, and humorous” and a Saisiyat name of “Wasal”, symbolizing the breadth and gentleness of culture, the program hopes to start an intimate dialogue between different generations of indigenous people, thereby allowing youths to gain deeper insight into their tribal culture and increase their recognition and interest in local culture.

Furthermore, TBS’s programs The Golden Years of Zhongshan Hall and Thousand Miles - Talks About Music were both shortlisted for “Best Arts and Culture Program”. The Golden Years of Zhongshan Hall, hosted by Judie, is a program tailored for the Zhongshan Hall. Through music, dance, and historical stories, the program recreates the splendor of Zhongshan Hall and blends art into people’s lives to increase public engagement in cultural activities and strive to showcase Zhongshan Hall’s historical and cultural significance.

The program Thousand Miles - Talks About Music, hosted by Mali Liu, was shortlisted for “Best Arts and Culture Program” and “Best Arts and Culture Program Host”. This program is dedicated to introducing foreign musicians and their impact on the Taiwanese music scene through interviews. It integrates music education and multicultural elements to depict the historical and contemporary development of music in Taiwan. In addition, it also incorporates mini radio dramas that introduce major musical events and influential figures from various periods, taking the audience on a journey through time. By remaining rooted in Taipei and Taiwan, the program offers the audience a global perspective.

New Sound Era, the broadcasting equipment upgrade project, achieved another tremendous success after becoming the Gold Winner at the 2024 MUSE Design Awards and the Silver Winner at the London Design Awards! The project applies cutting-edge digital technology and acoustic materials to realize modernized and intelligent broadcasting performance. Being shortlisted for “Best Innovative Research, Development, and Application” is a testament to the hard work of the engineering team in R&D innovation.
